Thank you for reporting, sorry for the late response. If I understand correctly, both 3.10.25, 3.13.1 and 3.13.2 are broken; two questions: 1) Is this still reproducible on the newest kernel versions? 2) Was there an older version that worked?

Hello and thank you for help ad1. 3.14.0-rc7 from March 27, 2014 works perfectly with this kernel I have not seen any flicker nor blurry screen with color distortion using this kernel. So it is stable. ad2. None of the older version I tried ie. 3.10.25, 3.13.1, 3.13.2 and 3.14.0-rc3 did not work. Now I tried to restart 3.14.0-rc3 again and it is still broken (the i915 module is not built in the kernel, I load it as a module so suppose the module is new one from 3.14.0-rc7) (In reply to Tom Wijsman (TomWij) from comment #1) > (In reply to Adam Jirasek from comment #0) > > I tried both built-in i915 and load it as a module. > > I tested both kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.10.25-gentoo and > > kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.13.2-gentoo. > > Thank you for reporting, sorry for the late response.

Hello I tried to upgrade my kernel to 3.16.0-rc5 (drm-intel-nighlty from 18th July 2014 ) and it seems the problem of blurry screen is back. The kernels 3.15.0-rc7 and 3.14.0-rc8 are working well. Adam Hi, Adam, anything new to report here with 3.17 ? (In reply to Mike Pagano from comment #4) > Hi, Adam, anything new to report here with 3.17 ? Hi Mike I just tested kernel from yesterday (SHA1 240f500cf642ae3a783b6ba97860402f5aeca858) from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/commit/ and it is working fine. A few weeks ago (2014-09-02) I applied a patch which solved the problem and since then all later version of the kernel worked for me, see more at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81647 Adam Fixed in 3.18. |
