Hi I'm on Debian Stretch but I'm not experiencing the issues you're discussing here. However I remember to have had similar issues with Plasma 5 and Intel drivers. As a workaround I used this /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf: > Section "Device" > Identifier "Intel Graphics" > Driver "intel" > Option "AccelMethod" "sna" > Option "TearFree" "true" > Option "DRI" "3" > EndSection Given also the previous messages about this topic, enabling DRI3 indeed seems to solve the problem. Anyhow, I discovered that the problem was with the i8xx i9xx display driver, provided by the automatically installed xserver-xorg-video-intel package, which could be not required by new hardware as reported in the description: > This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of > chipsets [...] The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new > enough (ca. 2007 and newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let > the server use it's builtin modesetting driver instead. I tried to uninstall this package as suggested and the problem was solved: > sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf > sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel && sudo reboot Ciao Francesco
