I installed the dot-files multiple times to confirm that this issue is present . There is an issue regarding the display blanking or flickering while using Firefox and playing videos on any medium whether its online like Youtube or offline like on mpv , vlc etc. display suddenly start to blank just like shown in the videos . And if cursor is move while the flickering display become working for some time . I want to address that i reinstall the dot-files after deleting the previous once multiple times . This is present in the new updated dot-files while i also installed these a month earlier is its works fine on other hardware..

Ok whats is your graphic card? what driver you use? these sounds like a graphic driver problem, not dotfiles one. I have 3 pcs with amd radeon and intel graphics and i dont have these issues.

First you can start killing picom pkill picom and test if the problem persist. Then you need to look for your dmsg, journal, and x11 logs.

There is no need to kill picom, all the time, you have a modern intel graphics and sometimes in new kernel releases like in arch few days ago, not all the time works as expected, try to search if there are bugs with this new release, arch forums are a good start point.

And about picom, try opening ~/.config/bspwm/picom.conf file search for line 95

backend = "glx";

change it for xrender

backend = "xrender";

maybe this backend will no cause the errors you have. after save file, reboot your machine.

This settings works as well as change the kernel. [ backend = "glx";

change it for xrender

backend = "xrender"; ]

Thank you for your help ;)
