This includes the backports of stable patches relevant with i915. If this still doesn't work, it's likely difficult to backport to 3.16 kernel. So we'd need to close as UPSTREAM, as the latest drm-intel seems working. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Tried the suggestion, no changes.

OK. Just to be sure, check the output of "modinfo i915 | grep filename". If it points to updates/* directory, it's fine -- the KMP is properly tested.

Thanks for your help. I understand that it is difficult to backport things, more so if that is happening across different major versions. Does that package contain the latest changes in i915 prior to the cutover to kernel 4.x? Perhaps I could try with the latest stable i915 release prior to the kernel change, if of course that's not already built in 13.2

Yes, please try kernel packages in OBS Kernel:stable and Kernel:HEAD repos (4.0.x and 4.1). My backport was up to 4.1, and I wonder whether some new fixes for 4.2 hits the issue. If any of the two above works, I'm going to close this as UPSTREAM. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I booted with 13.2 stock kernel adding i915.fastboot=1 to the boot command line. And faster it booted, and also skipping the mode change avoided the tearing and flickering. However, the X mouse cursor was solid black, no matter which theme I selected in KDE control centre. But then, forcing a mode change by switching to a text console with CTR+ALT+F1 made the tearing and flicker appear again, both in text and graphics mode. But this time the cursor appears normally. So it is definitely the mode change functionality that is broken in 13.2's driver. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The OBS repository can be added as the update repo, too. zypper ar obs://Kernel:/stable Kernel-stable

Correction: zypper ar obs://Kernel:/stable/standard Kernel-stable -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can keep using the kernel in another OBS repo, e.g. Kernel:stable, together with the rest of openSUSE 13.2 base, though. Tumbleweed (aka FACTORY) is a rolling release now, always picks up the latest one. So you can consider switching to this, too :) In anyway, I close this as UPSTREAM. Thank you for your report and testing! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
