I see the folowing changes for radeon:
Alex Deucher (13):
drm/radeon/dp: handle zero sized i2c over aux transactions (v2)
drm/dp/i2c: send bare addresses to properly reset i2c connections (v4)
drm/dp/i2c: Update comments about common i2c over dp assumptions (v3)
drm/radeon/dp: switch to the common i2c over aux code
drm/radeon: fix audio pin counts for DCE6+ (v2)
drm/radeon: disable mclk dpm on R7 260X
drm/radeon: fix runpm handling on APUs (v4)
drm/radeon: update CI DPM powertune settings
drm/radeon: add support for newer mc ucode on SI (v2)
drm/radeon: add support for newer mc ucode on CI (v2)
drm/radeon: re-enable mclk dpm on R7 260X asics
drm/radeon/si: make sure mc ucode is loaded before checking the size
drm/radeon/ci: make sure mc ucode is loaded before checking the size
Christian König (2):
drm/radeon: apply more strict limits for PLL params v2
drm/radeon: improve PLL params if we don't match exactly v2
Christoph Jaeger (2):
...
drm/radeon: fix VCE fence command
Quentin Casasnovas (1):
drm/radeon: memory leak on bo reservation failure. v2
The:
Christian König (2):
drm/radeon: apply more strict limits for PLL params v2
drm/radeon: improve PLL params if we don't match exactly v2
rings a bell for me, because I believe someone somewhere was saying that a
kernel parameter
speaking of PLL was fixing the problem... but people did not find PLL
parameters for radeon,
so people did not follow about that comment.
From:
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man4/radeon.4.xhtml
I see:
Option "LVDSProbePLL" "boolean"
When BIOS panel information isn’t available (like on PowerBooks), it may still
be necessary to
use the firmware-provided PLL values for the panel or flickering will happen.
This option will
force probing of the current value programmed in the chip when X is launched in
that case.
This is only useful for LVDS panels (laptop internal panels). The default is on.
Also:
Option "DefaultTMDSPLL" "boolean"
Use the default driver provided TMDS PLL values rather than the ones provided
by the BIOS.
This option has no effect on Mac cards.
Enable this option if you are having problems with a DVI monitor using the
internal TMDS controller.
The default is off.
Also:
drm/radeon: update CI DPM powertune settings
ring an other bell, because I think I remember someone saying something about
DPM in some message.
Sorry for not being more specific.

Title:
ubuntu 18.04 flickering screen with Radeon X1600
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
my laptop: HP Compaq nx9420
my grafic card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
RV530/M56-P [Mobility Radeon X1600] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
attachment:
the bug-apport-file
Description:
I start ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Kernel 4.15.0.33) in textmode;
-> as soon as the kernel-module radeon.ko is loaded the screen starts
flickering
when starting the grafic-mode the flickering continues; so the screen is
unusable.
when setting the option "radeon.modeset=0" (thus: not use radeon drivers) the
screen does not flicker
but the resolution is limited to 1400x1050 (instead of natural 1680x1050)
so I can not use this as work-around
when using the old ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS (Kernel 3.13.0-157)
the screen is o.k. NO flickering in textmode, nice grafic, NO flickering
xrandr tells: 1680x1050 60.1
so I must stay on old ubuntu 14.04.05 ???
