[DNG] Screen flickering

2021-04-08 Thread Bernard Rosset via Dng
Recently the screen of a Dell Latitude 7400 laptop I have (which is running Devuan) started flickering. I tried to deactivate/reactivate it (got a second monitor), unplug it to let it run w/o charger, change the display's frequency... you name it. I also tried to reboot on the previous 4.19.0-

Something I guess is important that I forgot to add: The flicker started happening after the screen went black during a session lock phase (screensaver was running on the other screen). I had to reboot to make the laptop's screen come back, only to have it flicker. Bernard (Beer) Rosset https

When connected to an external monitor, does that monitor show the flickering, too? That is my case already: I am using the internal display + an extra one. No sign of trouble on the external one. Bernard (Beer) Rosset https://rosset.net/ ___ Dng mail

I would boot from an installation USB / CD (preferably the one you set the machine up from) and go into Rescue Mode, and see whether the hardware still continues behaving the same way. That means you're testing it with the versions of kernel / modules / boot loader / etc as you did when you set i

Hello Everyone! Somehow all this systemd buzz flew behind me, so it's a pity that I discovered all drawbacks that it has recently. Which lead me to understand that it's not an init system that I want. It's nice to see that here, a lot of people are doing the right thing, from my point of view. My
