[Bug 1042873] New: Artifacts with HD530 and modeswitching driver
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042873 Bug ID: 1042873 Summary: Artifacts with HD530 and modeswitching driver Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: P.Suetterlin@royac.iac.es QA Contact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- My laptop (Lenovo T460p) has an 17-6820HQ CPU with HD530 graphics (plus GeForce 940MX Optimus). I'm running TW (up-to-date). The default driver for this is the modesetting one (via modesetting.ids, 8086191B). With this driver I am recently seeing increased number of artifacts on fast screen draw. They show up as horizontal blocks/lines of different color. I did not manage to get a screenshot of this :( Ways I can trigger them are: - change desktop (I use the 'slide' animation). Quite often then the window title bar of windows sliding in are left with a stripe-box pattern. - run an opengl application with optirun and the virtualgl bridge, e.g., optirun -b virtualgl glxspheres. The central bouncing ball then is having lots of those bar artifacts. This is with the compositor disabled (I run plasma5 DE). They do NOT appear if the compositor is enabled (but I keep is disabled because kwin_x11 has a very high probability to crash when toggling it on and off). They also do not occur when using the intel driver. A forum user suspected it might be somehow related to Bug #1021803 - but my understanding of the topic is too low to comment on that :( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's really strange that these problems would occur with the compositor *disabled*, but not with it enabled. It sounds like a Mesa issue, but then it would occur with the intel driver, too. So it may really be an X server issue...?
Not sure - maybe a caching/redrawing issue?
In any case, does this still occur on an up to date Tumbleweed system? We've updated the X server, too.
IIRC the default has been switched to intel, which I am using now, without issues. I can try to switch to kmodesetting and have a look (just have to find how to override intel...) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

With Skylake, the default for new installations is to *not* install the xf86-video-intel driver anymore, because it was too buggy when we made this decision.
Oh, interesting. I'm obviously not up to date :)
If you have that installed, then I wonder why.
Because the installation is from August 2016? I installed the intel driver in the wake of this bug, and updateing doesn't de-install it....
I'm glad to hear that the modesetting DDX is working so well for you now. Let's call it FIXED for now, and if the problems come back, please do REOPEN (or create a new bug report if it's a different problem).
Yes, sure!
Thank you so much for your bug report and helpful feedback!

Yes, that's the usual reason indeed, I should have written that. And unfortunately, updating indeed won't remove it automatically, sorry. Well, at least now you know about the need to remove it... Thanks again! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

No, not going to remove it I'm afraid, boo#1086640 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
