All,

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...

When you do the bug report, please include some info about the graphics adapter you use, maybe some snippets from the output of "hwinfo --gfxcard". just my 2¢ Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I've same kernel version as you installed on my Lenovo Z470 (SandyBridge Intel HD Graphic 3000) and not flickers at all. Then I suppose your issue is video card related.
