Power saving and Refresh rate glitches

Hello,

Installed fresh manjaro kde on precision 5470 with 12th gen 12800H cpu.

During the boot (dell logo) the right side of the screen starts flashing, like this post.

This glitch occurs on 60hz only on both wayland and x11. As soon as I plug into a dock with 2 external monitors, the issue disappears. Also the issue disappears if I set to 48hz refresh rate.

The solution in the post linked above, is to set i915.enable_psr=0 this disables power management of the gpu and is not a permanent solution, especially since it helps degrade the laptop battery.

I am looking for some hints at how I can resolve this :frowning:

You could try setting up a udev rule to load the module, or unload the module, when connecting to the dock…

That makes it semi-permanent…it might get resolved and then deleting the udev rule is easy.

Can you expand on what module and why would I want to load unload something when connecting to the dock?

Sorry. No. At least not at the moment. Not at my PC.

But see if there’s anything about it in the Arch wiki.
