As I have mentioned before, the flicker occurs whether X is started or not. It is true that there is dramatically less flickering when X is not started, but on kernels that work, there is no flickering in either case. This leads me to believe that if the flickering without a WM is eliminated, then the flickering with one will be as well, though obviously this it not certain. As for bisection, I find that the problem occurs between 3.9 and 3.10 and not 3.8 and 3.9 as Thomas claims. I bisected it to be introduced by commit 3600836585e3fdef0a1410d63fe5ce4015007aac.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
