Graphical issue on FW13 AMD

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

When running with 2 external displays through a Lenovo docking station gen 2, I sometimes get this graphical bug. It’s best to look at the pictures I send than for me to try to describe what I see.

It usually goes away after rebooting, so it doesn’t affect my ability to work, but it’s somewhat annoying, and I fear it could get worst with time. I’d say it occurs about 1 out of 10 times.

Is this something some of you have experienced before?

Thansk for taking the time to read this.

I have almost the same laptop and a Razer USB 4 dock, so I just connected a second external screen and will give it a try.

You write it occurs about 1 out of 10 times - when exactly? When resuming from standby or even on a fresh boot?

I’ve only noticed it with fresh boot.

So I have done my share of (re-)starting (+ a lot of resumes after standby) with two external screens connected - there was no issue at all.

I guess you have already tried swapping screens/ports, cables, and DisplayPort vs. HDMI if available?
