The issue persists when MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple has been added to /etc/environment. Note that Wayland is enabled; that is, /etc/gdm3/custom.conf has commented out the line reading WaylandEnable=false. It may be relevant to note how the problem does not appear following a fresh reboot. T

The trigger may be when a) the screen is locked, and b) the screen blacks out. Logging back in after this leads to the flickering black rectangle at the top of the secondary monitor. This occurs without any use of SDL. Switching the monitor off and on does not fix the problem. Disconnecting and re

Just to be clear, I associate restarting gnome with logging out then logging in again. Not with unplugging the monitor and reconnecting. Concerning the present bug report, I'm becoming confident that the flickering black bar appears at the top of the secondary monitor after the following steps: 1

Sorry, you'd asked about that, before. My secondary monitor shows no signal if the resolution is anything but the maximum, native resolution of the screen. Changing the refresh rate may temporarily restore drawing to the full screen. However, locking the screen and then allowing it to sleep will

The Samsung SyncMaster 2233 does have a menu button that leads to an information panel which reports: 64.6kHz 60Hz PN 1680x1050 Alas, 'Adjust for TV' broke everything. I had to Alt + SysRq + REISUB, and reboot into recovery mode. Remounted the file system for read/write and removed ~/.config/moni

I wonder whether your observation about refresh rate isn't on the right track. The drop-down list in Settings > Displays > Samsung Electric Company 22" > Refresh Rate is as follows (in Hz): 120.00 110.00 100.00 89.94 59.95 59.88 The default setting is for 59.88Hz, where I get clipping. If I ch

Thanks. I ran this: for e in /sys/class/drm/*/edid ; do echo -e "\n\n$e" ; edid-decode $e ; done > edid.txt So that the path is also copied in. I guess that /sys/class/drm/card0-DVI-D-1/edid is the interesting one because the DVI is connected to the offending SyncMaster. ** Attachment added: "e

I logged in with 'Ubuntu on Xorg' selected. There is no artefact when locking/unlocking the screen, or when changing refresh rates. The list of refresh rates is shorter, containing only 59.88, 100, 110, & 120Hz; seemingly in agreement with the edid data. -- You received this bug notification beca
