Plasma notificaton flickering, and other flickerings.

#1 Post by scutterflux »

Anyone else having problems with notifications popping up and flickering. (I also noticed the boot screen and SDDM login screen act blocky and flicker as well.)

I guess I'm wondering if this is this still the best solution still to add lines to 20-intel.conf file:

Code: Select all

	Option	"DRI"	"3"
	Option	"AccelMethod"	"sna" 

...which btw works, or is there better driver solutions in 2023/Debian12?


Code: Select all

$ inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915
    v: kernel
  Device-2: AMD Mars XTX [Radeon HD 8790M] driver: N/A
  Device-3: Microdia Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_HD type: USB driver: uvcvideo
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.7 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.9 driver: X:
    loaded: intel dri: crocus gpu: i915 resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
  API: OpenGL v: 4.6 Mesa 22.3.6 renderer: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4600 (HSW
    GT2)

Anyway, anyone with screen flickering on bootup or flickering notifications can try solution above.

If anyone knows a better solution (if anyone knows about intel vs modesetting etc) I'm all ears.

Please follow these directions and post your complete QSI:

We need your computer’s complete profile before we can proceed, so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.
