Greetings!
I received my brand new Framework 13” (specs at the bottom) and regardless of what Linux distro I install they all have the same problem which is as per the topic, once waking from suspend, without fail, there are white dotted lines across the screen that remain until I reboot. I am unable to screenshot the lines because it seems to be a hardware related issues, but it’s almost like static, dots that run inconsistently across the screen in a line, and there are around 5 lines from top to bottom. It’s not a consistent straight line of dots either, it’s clumps of dots that make up a patchy line, and can vary from 3-5 lines. The dots remain in place when there is no activity, i.e. I am not interacting with the software, but as soon as I do interactive the dots flicker and disappear and reappear on the some X axis but in slightly different places across the axis.
This happens with Fedora 42, and the latest version of Arch Linux.
I only added the following to try and address the issue as per some of the community topics here; amdgpu.sg_display=0
I have scoured all the topics I could find online regarding similar issues, but nothing is exactly the same as my issue. The screen works fine before suspending, absolutely no issues until after suspending the laptop.

Appreciate any insight.

UPDATE
Adding an interesting finding and update with more specifics. Picture of issue is available at the bug report.
Laptop & Display:
-
Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370)
-
BOE NE135A1M-NY1, 2.8K (2880x1920), 120 Hz internal display
OS & Kernel Versions Tested:
-
Arch Linux (Linux 6.15.9-arch1-1)
-
Arch Linux (linux-mainline 6.16.x)
-
Fedora 42 (latest kernel at time of testing)
-
Wayland, Hyprland WM
-
Tested with both
s2idleanddeepsuspend modes — no change
Issue Description:
Whenever the laptop wakes from suspend with no external display attached, I get persistent horizontal dotted-line artifacts across the internal panel.
-
Lines are patchy, made up of small white dots
-
They stay in place when idle, flicker slightly when I interact with the system
-
They do not disappear on their own
-
They are present immediately after resume and persist until reboot
Key finding:
-
If I plug in an external monitor (Apple Studio Display via USB-C) after resume, the artifacts immediately disappear and stay gone while the external monitor is connected
-
As soon as I unplug the external monitor, the artifacts instantly reappear
-
External monitor output is always clean
Things I’ve Tried:
-
Kernel parameters:
amdgpu.sg_display=0,amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x400,amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x610,amdgpu.dc=0,mem_sleep_default=deep,mem_sleep_default=s2idle→ No change -
Forcing modesets via
wlr-randr,hyprctl dpms off/on, VT switches, udev triggers → No change -
Changing refresh rate from 120 Hz to 60 Hz → No change
-
Happens on multiple Linux distros (Arch, Fedora) and multiple kernels (6.15.x, 6.16.x mainline)
Reproduction Steps:
-
Boot with no external display connected
-
Suspend (lid close or
systemctl suspend) -
Resume
-
Observe dotted-line artifacts on the internal display
-
Plug in external display via USB-C → artifacts vanish instantly
-
Unplug external display → artifacts instantly return
Summary:
Looks like an AMD display driver resume bug specific to this panel, where the internal eDP link is not properly re-initialized unless a hotplug event occurs. Posting here in case other Framework 13 AMD owners on Linux can reproduce, and to see if Framework has a known workaround or firmware fix.
