<pre>Hello,
I'm using Dell TB dock to connect external monitor. fwupd service, that checks
for hardware components creates an extra fake monitor to probe information when
MST controller is powered up without a monitor plugged in. That causes a series
of flickers caused by the kernel graphics driver.
I've been asked to create this bug by fwupd maintainers as they believe it's
"i915 not handling the fake monitor well".
See: <a href="https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/1105#issuecomment-476206640">https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/1105#issuecomment-476206640</a> for
details.
Technical details (from
<a href="https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs">https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs</a>):
uname -m: x86_64
uname -r: 5.0.9-arch1-1-ARCH
Linux distribution: Arch
Machine or mother board model: Dell XPS 13 9350
Display connector: DP through Thunderbolt dock.
If there is more info needed please do tell me. Sorry in advance if I did miss
something!</pre>
