Created attachment 126666 [details] full dmesg output with the following extra options: i915.enable_psr=0x2 log_buf_len=10M drm.debug=0x1e Hi, Since the update from Fedora 22 to 24 and the associated upgrade of the kernel to 4.6/4.7, the screen of my Acer Aspire V3-772G (Intel i7-4702MQ, GTX760M) has started to flicker. The flickering starts immediately when the user login screen appears. The flickering does happen occasionally when moving the mouse or when having something visible on the screen that moves (e.g. a watch command that has its output changed regularly or a youtube movie..). The flickering does not occur when passing i915.enable_psr=0 to the kernel.

(In reply to madebr from comment #0) > The flickering does not occur when passing i915.enable_psr=0 to the kernel. Does it occur *without* any i915.enable_psr option?
Yes. I've explicitly added the enable_psr option so you would know what value it had.
