Hi all,
I recently switched to a different notebook, with an Intel Core i7 (integrated graphics disabled) and an Nvidia NVS 3100M. The backlight control with Nouveau works perfectly, the buttons to increase/decrease brightness are recognised and even auto-brightness works flawlessly.
However, if my screen locks, it should turn off the screen (including the backlight) in like 5 minutes. What happens, though, is that the screen gets all kinds of stripes (horizontal and vertical) and sometimes even starts flickering. When I move my mouse, everything turns to normal again (apart from some flickering which disappears after some time).
The strange thing is that when I turn off the screen in KDE display settings (to work for example on an external display) the backlight does turn off, however the stripes/flickering continues. It seems to be an error in Nouveau or something, but I haven't found any info on the Internet yet and I don't have any clue how to debug this problem.
Does anyone have an idea where the root of this problem is located and (more important) how to fix it?
Not realy a fix, but I've seen reports in the forums that using the proprietary NVIDIA driver fixes this. You might also have a look at the suse-prime package.
There's also Bumblebee, to deal with NVIDIA Optimus configurations. Hi,
As I said, it isn't an Nvidia Optimus configuration (the Intel graphics are disabled, by hardware). I'm a bit afraid of installing the proprietary drivers, as Tumbleweed often provides kernels which are newer than those supported by the drivers. Because of the single graphics configuration, I don't think opensuse-prime will help much. -- Timo Diedering -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
