Digging around in relevant config files I found these in xorg.conf.d:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-backlight.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-dri3.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "TearFree" "true"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-xpra-virtual.conf
# Ignore all xpra virtual devices by default,
# these will be enabled explicitly when needed.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "xpra-virtual-device"
MatchProduct "Xpra"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
I suspect it could be 20-dri3.conf causing issues though I have switched it to
just vesa, i.e.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "vesa"
#Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
#Option "TearFree" "true"
#Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
That didn't change anything unfortunately, and neither did removing the file
completely.
I tested these changes by restarting my display manager after each one, i.e.
systemctl restart lightdm
In terms of kernel, I'm currently running linux 4.19.37-5+deb10u1
The only other kernel I have installed currently is 4.19.0-0.bpo.5, which is
pretty much the same kernel. However, for completeness I tested it too, but
encountered the same problem.
If you really think its a kernel problem then I can certainly build a newer
version to test, but I don't currently have the time and there's nothing newer
available from Debian AFAIK, not even in unstable.
