I just tried the nouveau driver in 4.9.0-11-generic. Now while it didn't flicker, what it did do was exhibit the very start of the problem, which manifests as subtle vertical bars in the top panel's dark brown bar. So it may not be an Nvidia problem, but a kernel problem, that may have been fixed i

Running the mainline kernel 4.10-rc2 and the nouveau driver on 17.04 means the bug does not appear; it does appear with the Nvidia 375 driver in the regular 17.04 kernel. The 4.10-rc2 kernel is significant because in the 4.9 and earlier kernels, the mouse cursor does not move from the top left corn

Additional comment from linux thinkpad mailing list participant Alex Deucher: "I think this may be a logic issue in gnome power manager (GPM) rather than the driver. If the following commands executed from a terminal blank the displays properly: sleep 5; xset dpms force off then the driver is wor

2011-02-01 Thread Damon Lynch
A clarification: when I say the bug does not occur when the laptop lid is open, I should have added the important proviso that the laptop LCD panel should be an active display in addition to the external monitor. That is, both displays must be displaying the desktop. It is not important which mode
