My screen gets random visual glitches (Pixels quickly appearing and disappearing, typically when scrolling fast or watching video games). I’ve tried uninstalling my GPU (Although I didn’t have an expansion module to replace it with) and it still happened. And I tried uninstalling my display (From the display side not the mainboard side) but they still seem around
does your laptop have dGPU or just iGPU? if your’s is still in warranty, it sounds like your iGPU/dGPU is about to give up and hopefully support will accept it on warranty.
I think I tried that? But I don’t have a regular expansion bay to replace it with so I’m not sure if any errors I saw there are a result of the iGPU glitching out or the fact that my computer literally was missing half the required components
what half of required components does it not have, that is missing?
Also since you got gen 1 it doesn’t have option i thought it would have, since Gen 2 has a option in bios where you can do both, dGPU only or iGPU Only. for graphics mode.
About your gpu issue if laptop used iGPU then it might be your iGPU giving up instead unless this is a issue with kernel?
Try booting up a another linux distro and see if same issue occurs.
Another alternative is to try Windows and see if you can get same graphic glitches, if it does not occur in windows but in linux, then it’s something todo with kernel in linux distro’s doing it.
These sorts of problems are a lot easier to understand with a video. Can you take a video with your phone and post that somewhere and link to the video here?
You can download a windows copy from Microsoft google up media creator tool and make a iso or bootable usb directly and then install it without a license key and install the drivers package from framework and see if issue occurs in windows.
If it does not, then you can breathe out and confirm issue is kernel related in linux and not your dGPU or your iGPU flipping out.
About fedora I meant did you reinstall fedora and graphic glitch continued? If so try a different linux distro like kubuntu, ubuntu, zorin os etc.
Im using arch and have windows on a 1tb expansion. I get these same glitches when booted into Arch but not in windows. Pretty sure its some kind of video driver issue.
I’m getting the same visual glitches in arch linux (garuda, specifically) that don’t appear if I rollback to a snapshot pre-February 17th.
Running Plasma/kwin currently and the artifacts can be pretty significant at times but like OP don’t seem to appear with screen recording or sharing (discord, in my case).
I still have the pacman logs if anyone is curious; there were numerous kde & plasma related updates including one for wayland and I’m betting one is the cultprit.
Based on the pattern of the glitches. I don’t think it is a display problem.
I think it is most likely GPU software/driver bugs.
Probably best to report them to AMD.
I have a FW16 AMD 7840HS and have not seen these sorts of glitches.
Do you have a dGPU as well as the iGPU ?
