Screen flickering disappeared, but I see sharp color transitions on pictures
with smoothly changing color. So bpp=18 was correct, thereas some other
parameters were problematic. Probably, those lines are important:
[ 1.332972] [drm:intel_dp_compute_config], DP link bw 0a lane count 2 clock
270000 bpp 24
[ 1.332973] [drm:intel_dp_compute_config], DP link bw required 338400
available 432000
A problem of bandwidth?</pre>
