[Bug 991282] New: Screen is flashing
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991282 Bug ID: 991282 Summary: Screen is flashing Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: martin.beckert@online.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 686112 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=686112&action=edit Log-files: hwinfo and journalctl Hello, I'm actually not sure if it's a bug in openSuse Tumbleweed, KDE, or Mesa or something else. When I start the notebook I see a normal booting screen (black with three green dots) and the KDE login screen appears. Now the screen begins to flash between black screen and normal picture. It's not screen tearing like I know from vsync-errors, but it flashes about 5 to 10 times a second and it happens on the whole screen at once. When I move the mouse the screen flashes about up to 30 times a second. When Firefox starts the screen doesn't flash as some elements in Firefox rotating. When the mouse stands still or Firefox finished loading, it flashes 5 to 10 times as before. In general when I click an application the flashing wents away until the menus are loaded. Then there's no change in the screen rendering anymore and it flashes like before. When I switch to TTY1 I can use the console as normal, there is no flashing. Back to TTY7 and it flashes again. Logging in to KDE doesn't helped. I also tested different settings in the KDE compositor settings with OpenGL 2, OpenGL 3, XRender. I have also tested the vsync setting "fullscreen repaint" (or something lika that, I'm using the german KDE version) My hardware: Toshiba Satellite P70-B-121 CPU and internal GPU: Intel Core i7-4720HQ Discrete GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8870M / R9 M270X/M370X --> Venus XT OS: Tumbleweed, installed in June and the bug still exists in the updated package versions from today I have attached some files from hwinfo and journalctl, I hope this helps! Please tell me if you need more information or if I should test something else. Regards, Martin -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

(On the video it looks like a vsync error, because I'm using the camera of my mobile phone) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have an Optimus laptop and I am using bumblebee with intel-virtual-output. I have seen this issue as well. When it restarts really fast it is X trying to start over and over again. You can barely type. Like 1/4 of keystrokes go through. Deleting what caused it lets X start normally. nvidia-xconfig writes a bad X config on optimus laptops which can cause this. Every laptop I've had running nvidia-xconfig causes this. (All have Optimus) Even on Leap. I have also seen it blink much slower. I think that is an unrelated issue. I saw it happening after unplugging a monitor. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
