Hi,

I notice very regular screen glitch on my Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen3 AMD, powered by Fedora 37.

Here are the details of my configuration: inxi_2023-03-26.txt · GitHub

Here an example (around 3s):

Am I the only one to have this problem on this laptop model?

Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

Do you know if a bug has already been reported in upstream?

Best regards,
Stéphane

I read here:

Thanks for being patience, So I got a reply for AMD that they’re having some issues with 6.1 kernel. They have not validated 6.1 yet.

7

I also see this issue: Sporadic flickering glitches on Ryzen 6850U, Radeon 680M

8

I just added amdgpu.sg_display=0 option to my kernel config.

I will see if the glitch, disappears or not.

Looks like user naguam found a temporary workaround.

Glitch always present with kernel 6.2.8 :pensive:.

Did you try naguams workaround?

Yes: I set amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 in /etc/default/grub:

...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10"
...

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
# reboot
...
[root@t14s dri]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/eDP-1/psr_capability
Sink support: yes [0x03]
Driver support: no [0xffffffff]
[root@t14s dri]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/eDP-1/psr_state
0

I will post a message by tomorrow, to tell you whether the problem is fixed or not.

@risotto8464 thanks, I think that my glitch issue is fixed by Regalar screen glitch on Thinkpad T14s Gen3 AMD - #14 by stephaneklein (English Community-Lenovo Community).

Glad to hear!
I can’t speak to other effects of this kernel parameter so you might want to check the Lenovo threads about what other users are reporting.
