Re: UL30vt and screen flickering/blinking lines

 


Works for me when I add that parameter at boot time, but I don't know how to permanently add it. The answer used to be menu.lst. But in 9.10 and later, where does it go? Somewhere in /etc/grub.d, I suppose?

I'm using 9.10 on ul80vt, with kernel 2.6.33-020633-generic.

Appreciate any suggestions...

Hi

Kernel parameter i915.powersave=0 in grub fixes this issue and I'm very pleased by that.

Definitely a kernel problem. You could easily downgrade to 2.6.31 and
notice the flickering is gone. It's due to new DRM kernel code since
2.6.32 and still present in .34 RCs

Cheers,
Ralf.
