Hi, running on Fedora 43 with Gnome, after one update at the beginning of this month my bult-in screen started to freeze randomly when an external monitor was connected via HDMI. The connected monitor (set as main) works. If I change anything regarding the display settings or even pull out the cable, built in screen goes white and only hard reboot helps. I tried many things: troubleshooting with AI, complete OS reinstall, troubleshooting with AI again, different cables and different ports on monitor, updating kernel, BIOS… Nothing helped. I would appreciate your help. Thanks a lot. Bellow is en error log, sorry to put the entire thing here, but I am by no means a power user. Specs follow. ```auto [1.958886] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 0 [1.958894] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [2.475109] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 0 [2.475119] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [2.845163] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 256 [2.845172] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [18:15:02] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 0 [18:15:02] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [18:15:03] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 0 [18:15:03] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [18:15:03] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 256 [18:15:03] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [18:17:11] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 0 [18:17:11] HOST kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5) [19:04:10] HOST kernel: amdgpu 0000:c1:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data [19:04:11] HOST kernel: amdgpu 0000:c1:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data [19:04:11] HOST kernel: amdgpu 0000:c1:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data [19:04:21] HOST kernel: amdgpu 0000:c1:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* [CRTC:80:crtc-0] flip_done timed out [20:03:32] HOST kernel: I/O error, dev sdX, sector 64 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 64 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 0, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 65 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 1, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 66 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 2, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 67 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 3, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 68 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 4, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 69 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 5, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 70 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 6, async page read [20:03:32] HOST kernel: device offline error, dev sdX, sector 71 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [20:03:32] HOST kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdX1, logical block 7, async ``` My specs: Framework 13 (AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12), the newest kernel (Linux 6.18.6-200.fc43.x86\_64) and BIOS (3.18), everything up to date ---

Not had an issue with Kinoite 43. Maybe a Gnome/Framework issue? ---
