Apparently the flicker is more pronounced the more the laptop display is opened. If I close the display to just before the point where it turns off, there doesn't seem to be much flicker, if any. There's more with the display in a vertical position and much more with the display turned as far back as it will go without forcing anything. It seems very odd to me, because it would indicate a hardware issue, cabling or whatever, but at the same time the display works perfectly before the i915 driver is loaded, as I hope can be seen from the video, and also if I use the computer as I am now, without the i915 driver loaded at all.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
