I have the Kernel:/stable/standard/ repo configured (bug testing on backlight control) and today I pulled in the updated kernel:
kernel-desktop-3.15.8-2.1.g258e3b0.x86_64
Every 1-2 seconds the backlight flickers horribly (not related to bug report of backlight keyboard keys not controlling backlight). It makes the laptop unusable.
I booted back into kernel-desktop-3.15.6-2.1.gedc5ddf.x86_64 and all is fine. Does a bug report need to go somewhere? I know this is from Kernel:/stable/standard/, but if this is getting folded into factory, then a bug needs to go somewhere.
Anybody have anything to check? The flicker starts as soon as the kernel is booted, is present during the splash screen and remain unchanged after the display and window managers load -- so it is kernel/module related and not desktop related...
David,

Thanks Greg,
I sent the info along with the hardware information to opensuse-kernel@opensuse.org. We will see what they want done with it. This is the oddest flicker I've ever seen. Since dropping back to 3.15.6 solves it, it looks like 3.15.8 is just a bad/broken kernel build for [AMD/ATI] RS690M [Radeon Xpress 1200/1250/1270] cards.
