Created attachment 122497 Cache DP signal levels In your case, when DP link is retrained with the settings from previous link training the clock recovery fails. This leads into a situation where link training is started from scratch. However, now the clock recovery seems to be happy with the lower voltage swing and pre-emphasis settings than with the first iteration round. You may experience flickering due to this as the physical link may require higher voltage swing or pre-emphasis than provided.
We could try the following trick here. Let's cache the signal levels and in case of link retraining we retrain the link until we have reached the previously trained signal levels and clock recovery is reached. Please, give this a go on top of the latest drm-intel-nightly with these 3 patches applied. Dmesg logs are appreciated too ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel 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
