Hello everyone,
I’m having issues with setting up dual monitors and screen flickering on my laptop running Linux with an Intel Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] GPU. I’ve tried several solutions found online, but none of them have solved my problems. Here’s a summary of my issues and what I’ve tried:
-
I’m unable to use a dual monitor setup. When attempting to do so, my laptop fails to recognize or correctly use the second monitor.
-
On my laptop monitor, I experience black lines flashing across the screen. This issue doesn’t occur on an external monitor, which works perfectly fine.
I’ve ensured that my system and packages are up to date and have the correct drivers installed. Here is the output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display':
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)
Subsystem: Lenovo Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics]
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915
I’ve also checked my Xorg configuration and added several options as recommended in various places. Here’s my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file:
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "Flip" "False"
Option "DRI" "3"
Option "TearFree" "false"
Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
EndSection
After modifying this file, I’ve tried restarting X by logging out and back in, as well as rebooting my computer, but the problem persists.
When I check my Xorg log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log), I see a lot of warnings about failing to queue async flip:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I’ve also checked my system logs using journalctl, and here’s what I found:
