Does this patch help you? https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/264781/ The easiest way to test it would be to build and try the amd-staging-drm-next branch from https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/?h=amd-staging-drm-next Which monitors are you using and how are they connected (DP, HDMI, any adapters)?

If however I start Xorg with freesync on (in monitor), XOrg defaults to 75 Hz and I have random screen tearing and artifacts. What is worth a note is that if I enable freesync and/or change from 60 Hz to 75 Hz after Xorg started, I have no screen artifacts. Same goes if I switch to 60 Hz via xrandr and/or disable freesync in Monitor OSD during Xorg run time, the screen artifacts still happen. > > Forcing power state to lowest with > > echo low >/sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level > > Does make the screen artifacts go away, during runtime, without restart. > > I found it a bit surprising that it appears it's about the state of monitor/default frequency of the moment when Xorg was started rather than the the currently running frequency of the screen. As with low mode, I Have 300 MHz on mclk and sclk and no screen artifacts it may mean that it's not about not enough power on the GPU to handle it, rather than something that happens when the power states switches. > > Some additional information: > > - I am running simple openbox WM > - Vanilla 4.19.2 kernel > - x11-drivers/xf86-video-amdgpu-18.1.0 > - x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.3 > > Would you kindly share your thoughts about above problem? > > -- Piotr. > > > _______________________________________________ > amd-gfx mailing list > amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx > _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
