Hi enlighted people!
I’m not an expert on the matter, and I’m having some strange behaviors on f37, where it randomly freezes for a short time (like for 2 seconds every 4 to 30 seconds). I find it the most annoying when I’m writing something and it gets stucked when the key is pressed, so I get something like “HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHello” (or when erasing)…
Likewise, I also get the second monitor disconnected randomly, specially when just connected, so that I cannot work with it. I’m sure it is not the cable because it was working before perfectly and sometimes, when the screen goes black, I can still see the mouse as well as move it and then it completely disconnects and shows up as if it were just connected.
I also noticed that there are some things that trigger the connection or disconnection of the screen, but it also happens randomly, like said. These are:
- When the focused window is on the second screen, it helps to stay connected.
- When the settings of the displays is focused, it stays connected.
- When I change from full screen to a floating window or vice versa, it has a tendency to get fixed for some seconds.
- When stuff like the video options or a pop-up disappear, it has a tendency to disconnect if connected or vice versa.
- When the light of the next room is turned on and off, the screen disconnects.
- When the screen has no activity and then the image starts to move or vice versa, it has a tendency to disconnect if connected or vice versa.
I believe they have to do with the Panel Self Refresh, that’s why I did what I posted here:
- Added this to the grub configuration (
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
) :GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.enable_psr=0"
- Changed
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true
in /etc/default/grub tofalse
. This had to be done before generating the grub config, or if not I wouldn’t be able to boot into fedora, according to the comments of Neo_Nethshan here. - Then removed old grub config :
sudo rm /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
- After that, generated new grub config:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
- Rebooted my system.
Sadly, after a couple of days I had to undo it because it got worse and I started getting some troubles I had already fixed.
I could not find much more relevant information, so if someone could help me here, it would be really appreciated!
