[RESOLVED] White Screen & Flicker w/ Proton Experimental

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

I am having some odd behavior w/ my Framework 13 AMD. This is repeatable by launching Last Epoch from Steam using Proton Experimental. I am running Arch Linux and I am fully up to date, using KDE/Plasma 6 on Wayland.

Here’s what I get in dmesg when this happens:

Based on this, I think it’s an amdgpu related issue in the kernel. I am on 6.7.9 which is the latest release available currently for Arch.

Linux fw13amd 6.7.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 08 Mar 2024 01:59:01 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I’m curious if anyone else has seen similar behavior, if there’s some kernel/driver tuning that might resolve this?

I’ve resolved this by adding amdgpu.sg_display=0 to my kernel configuration and recompiling my unified kernel. After a reboot, I confirmed this issue doesn’t re-occur.

Glad to hear amdgpu.sg_display=0 resolved this for you. We also point folks towards this as well should it crop up again.

Just as an FYI, I also experience this issue when doing modest tasks like watching a youtube video on fullscreen. I also have seen these messages come up after suspend and the laptop not coming up (not sure if this is the culprit) and I wonder if my previous GPU problem also arose from this: Be aware with Framework 13, AMD and Fedora/Linux - #2 by mikeymop

I will try to assign more RAM.
