Re: Debian 9 stretch screen flicker on w3m and command line applications

Show all headers | View raw

FWIW I have been suffering screenn flickering in Debian 9 since 1 or 2
weeks ago.
The flickering is _very_ serious: it makes my box almost unusable.

Booting with kernel option:
i915.enable_rc6=0

significantly reduces the problem but it doesn't completely fix it.

Instead the following fix works:

Create a file:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fix-screen-flickering.conf

with content:
--8<-----------------------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option     "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection
--8<-----------------------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
Tino
