Glitches with new Kernel? (I think) Kernel >5.4

Get colorful staggered stripes.

Imgur

This is a new installation. With Kernel >5.4 . inxi with Kernel 5.9.
Everything works with Kernel 5.4.

Have you tried Kernel 5.10 yet? Just to see if it works better.

I assume you mean 5.4 :slight_smile:

yes sry

Same with 5.10

I am having the same issue.
5.10.7-3-MANJARO
lightdm
i3
Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics 640

Tried logging out and back in, no help.
Sometimes rebooting completely “fixes” it, i.e. it comes back up normal.
But not predictable how, just random.

On a different machine, same kernel, when I first time boot I get the same (even before logging into i3, just lightdm).
Then I login, exit and it fixes itself.
This machine has
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 9bca (rev 04).

In fact I created a related ticket a while ago, but not sure why there is no activity/fix for that…

Something “helped”.
After installing video-vesa driver → lightdm crashes at reboot
uninstalling video-vesa and systemctl restart lightdm
it worked suddenly. No Glitches atm.
Don’t know why. Kernel 5.11

Only when lightdm crashes and you restart the service, the gliches go away for the session.

All fine with kernel 5.12

Good I checked back in here too.
Updating to 5.12 finally seems to have addressed my own issue as well.

Currently though my screen is very lagging and even typing seems delayed.
I might try resetting my X11 conf for this

Yep resetting some of my xorg.d/20-intel.conf addressed this too. So finally I am good. At last!
