Description Spricer 2016-07-09 06:45:52 CEST
After booting into 4.4.13-desktop-1.mga5 screen starts flickering/going blank for second when switching mouse from one monitor to second monitor. Sometimes screen stays black after leaving it with mouse and moving mouse back restores screen. This is NOT happening with  4.1.15-2.mga5 kernel

Do you not have this problem when booting into a previous kernel?

Comment 2 Spricer 2016-07-10 07:39:43 CEST
This is NOT happening with  (previous) 4.1.15-2.mga5 kernel (I am actually using this kernel since flickering is quite anoying with new kernel)
Comment 3 Spricer 2016-07-11 06:15:16 CEST
This is actually kernel bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95461
They are suggesting that all drm/i915 bug tracking happens at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/

Here is relevant post:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94605
Will continue following bug there but this listing can serve as reference for others.

Once fixed I will mark as RESOLVED here.

Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2016-08-26 12:48:53 CEST
Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the summary that are still assigned to tmb (or wrongly assigned to someone with "tmb" in his e-mail address) to the kernel packagers group, but without adding "kernel" to the SRPM field.

Please reassign if needed, or add kernel to the SRPM field if this is correct.

Comment 5 Marja Van Waes 2018-04-29 10:05:44 CEST
Hi Spicer,

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED

If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard.

Thanks,
Marja

@ Spricer:

No reply, so closing as OLD since Mageia 5 is no longer maintained.
