Graphical Glitches

Framework Laptop 16 Linux
1

I’m seeing weird graphical glitches, which I’ve reported at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3752 due to the absence of other reports on AMD’s tracker. I’m using Hyprland. Note that [KDE Plasma] KDE Plasma on Framework Laptop 16" having very weird graphical issues reports the same visual effect on KDE Plasma.

It is not obvious what the glitch is.
Please add a non-glitch version of the image for comparison.

See the colorful static at the bottom of the screen? That’s not supposed to be there. The pink splatters on the trump supporter’s jacket are also not there in the video, and neither are the pink pixels on the shopper’s legs.

I’m seeing the same issue since upgrading to Fedora 41. It’s most noticeable in Firefox, particularly when scrolling pages.

Can confirm it is most noticeable in Firefox, also on Fedora 41.

Folks, please bump the tracking bug at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3388 and mention your Framework 16s!

I can confirm the same issue on my Framework 16 with the dGPU, on Pop!_OS 22.04 (kernel v: Linux 6.9.3-76060903-generic).

It happens when switching workspaces through the touchpad swipe movements or by navigating on any firefox based browser (tried latest FF, Zen and Librewolf).

Not sure of the root cause, but could be AMD drivers acting up? it wasn’t happening to me until this week, which coincides with me upgrading my system (sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade).

It really seems like I’m having the same issue here too. Flickering like this guy: [KDE Plasma] KDE Plasma on Framework Laptop 16" having very weird graphical issues - #25 by Game_Channel

Kernel 6.11.0-19-generic

Changing display refresh rate from 165Hz to 60Hz decreases the frequency, but doesn’t fix it.

I can confirm the same, reducing the refresh rate does seem to decrease the frequency of the issue, but it’s a rather unfortunate fix :confused:
