Kernel regression: visual artifacts with 6.12.1 on some AMD machines

callegar · 1 December 2024 18:46

Seeing this on a Zephyrus ROG G14. Linux 6.12.1 creates some minor visual artifacts (display flikerings, transient ghost images). These happen when parts of the display needs to update (e.g. pressing keys to fill a text field).

Those having the same problem should probably stay on 6.11 until this regression is fixed.

Can you post inxi -zv8 to be a bit more informative?

Just discovered that this is probably being taken care already by the arch devs: linux-6.12.1.arch1-1 introduces graphics artifacts (Page 2) / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums
