Occasional screen flickering

Hi. I recently solved weird and very annoying artifacts flicker on AMD graphics with this fix: F41 The screen flickers and shows visual artifacts when I type or scroll - #2 by litemotiv The experience is much better now. But I noticed a different flicker now. This flicker was happening when I was on Linux Mint also. When I use Firefox (I don’t know, might be relevant) the whole screen starts flickering from time to time. Does this indicate there are more problems with AMD? Does anyone else experience the same? Can anyone help in solving this? Thank you

I cannot help with the problem. But to help those who can help you, please install

sudo dnf install inxi

and run

inxi -Fzxx

and post the output here in ‘preformatted text’ (sixth icon on the taskbar above)

This will tell everyone your graphics card, desktop, kernel and etc

Also describe the flickering, is is fast, constant, how many Hz, what colours?

Ok.

The black and also with some content flickering is throughout or just a part of the screen and lasts just a fraction of a second.

I would like to also add that I installed RHEL Linux drivers while desperately looking for a solution for a major artifact flicker that was present before I applied this fix from: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html

The flicker is much better if not completely gone. I think I updated something and its better now. I wrote that yesterday, but as soon as I posted my message I noticed a flicker so I deleted my post. But it is definitely much better than before <3.

EDIT: Yeah it is not completely gone

I recorded a video so you can see what I’m dealing with here: https://youtu.be/D3aWC6aGa9A
