It happens on both Haswell and Skylake machines. Thee are subtle flickers of bottom screen area, perceivable during UI or related workload instances. For me, I have screen blanks for 1-3 seconds on both screens attached to a docking station (T450s), blanks occur independend from each other, nothing is found in the logs here. This seems a dup of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93892 and fixed by From e2e407dc093f530b771ee8bf8fe1be41e3cea8b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper> Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 11:05:28 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Pretend cursor is always on for ILK-style WM calculations (v2) Due to our lack of two-step watermark programming, our driver has historically pretended that the cursor plane is always on for the purpose of watermark calculations; this helps avoid serious flickering when the cursor turns off/on (e.g., when the user moves the mouse pointer to a different screen). That workaround was accidentally dropped as we started working toward atomic watermark updates. Since we still aren't quite there yet with two-stage updates, we need to resurrect the workaround and treat the cursor as always active. v2: Tweak cursor width calculations slightly to more closely match the logic we used before the atomic overhaul began. (Ville) The last comment there said it wasn't actually fixed so I didn't pull it into 4.4.3. Did anyone else confirm if it fixed the flickering? kernel-4.4.4-200.fc22 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 22. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-746bb5851d kernel-4.4.4-301.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-e6cfaff4b1 kernel-4.4.4-200.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 testing repository.
