Hi!
Hopefully the right addressee.
Encountered two bad backports which cause screen-flicker. dmesg shows:
... [drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun [drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun [drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe B FIFO underrun [drm:ironlake_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* PCH transcoder B FIFO underrun ...
CPU: Intel Core i3 (Clarkdale/Ironlake)
The backports are:
- diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c index 49de476..277a802 100644 - diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h index a19ec06..3ce9ba3 100644
After reversing them the flicker is gone, no more messages in dmesg. All else OK so far.
I have also reported this here:

So long!
