redshift causing flickering screen? #221

Open rw1018 opened 9 years ago

rw1018 commented 9 years ago

I just installed redshift (ubuntu 14.04) but its causing my screen to flicker between the red color temperature and regular temperature. Anybody know what might be causing this?

Thanks!

As I reported in #588, I have recently upgraded to Arch kernel 4.15.6-1 and it seems like the flickering has gone away for me. I have a Radeon 560 with amdgpu.dc=1.

I have updated from 4.15.6 to 4.15.16 in sequence and while the flickering is less frequent than on 4.15.3, it remains. Will update once 4.16 hits Fedora repos.

Update: 4.17 reduces the flicker to once every few hours. Completely bearable now.

This is still happening on the 4.16 kernel. Whenever the mouse moves the screen flickers....

I had the same issue on arch 4.15.15-1 with bspwm as my WM. However, the flickering disappeared after I removed compton from my startup script. I would theorize, that we're searching for the bug in the wrong place.

4.17-rc1 fixed it for me with amdgpu.dc=1

ashleybone commented 6 years ago

4.17.2 with amdgpu.dc=1 has fixed this issue for me.

HadrienG2 commented 6 years ago

I think 4.17 resolves this for me as well. Maybe it's time to close this thread?

Zamundaaa commented 6 years ago

Upgrading to 4.17 fixed this for me, too. Thankfully no flickering anymore!

felipecustodio commented 6 years ago

@Gnarflord my screen was flickering a lot, now testing without Compton the flickering is gone, even without the -o flag.

I had this issue on 4.17.2. Closing one plasmoid in KDE seems to have fixed it. I have two identical taskbars on my two screens with 2 Redshift plasmoids.

dekay commented 6 years ago

I agreed with @Mel34 that this issue should be closed.

I experience this as well. Running Arch 5.5.11-arch1-1. No DE, just Xmonad and redshift-gtk in the autostart.

Getting this on Sway and AMDGPU, none of the kernel parameters mentioned here or on the Arch Wiki fixed the issue.

same - Linux Mint 21.3

uninstall and killing process/es didnt help, only restart after that helped
