well, eventually means it could take halve a year until we got those patches which makes our computers useless. I can also add that on my computer I cannot enable vesa mode and i915.modeset=0 option makes the screen black, i.e. bricks it. Reverting two patches for the ubuntu's 4.2.0.19 kernel like it was described above doesn't help either. I tried to figure out how to apply your patch onto 4.2.0.19 but it seems like training staff was moved out of the intel_dp.c and some files are missing completely, so no luck. Cloning the 1Gigabyte git repo like you suggest would also mean that I'd need to compile drm driver code with the kernel version that in that repo too right? Or I can copy the gpu/drm/i915 over to my kernel version and it'll work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libdrm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522922 Title: Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1522922/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
