[PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Disable Panel Self Refresh (PSR) by default

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sultan Alsawaf <sultan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On all Dell laptops with panels and chipsets that support PSR (an
esoteric power-saving mechanism), both PSR1 and PSR2 cause flickering
and graphical glitches, sometimes to the point of making the laptop
unusable. Many laptops don't support PSR so it isn't known if PSR works
correctly on any consumer hardware as of 5.4. PSR was enabled by default
in 5.0 for capable hardware, so this patch just restores the previous
functionality of PSR being disabled by default.

More info is available on the freedesktop bug:
