Hello again,

 

I am trying to repost this message with one smaller video since I got many error messages about oversized attachments.

 

BR,

Hello!

 

I noticed that when I compiled 5.12 and 5.12.1 kernels my display started to flicker maybe in once a second.

 

With kernel 5.11.16 or below that there is no flickering. I'm using Gentoo testing and all other packages remained the same when I switched between 5.11.16 and 5.12.X.

 

I have attached a couple of videos to this email to demonstrate the problem with kernel version 5.12.1. Sorry about the file sizes.

 

These are the errors I am seeing in journal:

May 06 07:49:24 nyrkki kernel: ACPI Error: Needed type [Reference], found [Integer] 0000000090bcaee8 (20210105/exresop-66)

I have noticed that people were having these kinds of issues a couple of years ago with pstates and/or psr. Maybe this bug in the latest kernel is also related to them?

 

Hardware:

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon, gen 2

Latest BIOS 1.40

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4550U CPU with Intel HD Graphics 5000

14.0" WQHD (2560x1440), 300nit, IPS

 

Best Regards,
