| 19:54:50 | <Enrico63> | Hello. I'm observing a very weird behavior in the terminal, recently, where the text start flickering like shown in this video: https://streamable.com/84cbyw. At the beginning of the video I'm in Vim, but as you can see towards the end, where I quit Vim, the flickering continues. Furthemore, while that screencast shows urxvt, in an attempt of |
| 19:54:50 | <Enrico63> | avoiding the bug using another terminal, I've realized that UXTerm suffers the same issue, https://streamable.com/tvj4g5, so the problem is not the terminal! |
| 19:54:51 | <Enrico63> | Anybody has any idea what it could be? |
| 19:55:15 | <Enrico63> | The problem not being the terminal, I'm asking here because I use xmonad |
| 19:57:25 | <L29Ah> | your gpu{, drivers} |
| 19:58:02 | <L29Ah> | pretty sure the flickering will continue if you kill xmonad |
| 20:00:22 | <geekosaur> | likewise. xmonad doesn't control rendering of client windows in any way |
| 20:00:29 | <geekosaur> | just placement and size |
| 20:02:29 | <Enrico63> | Oh, now that I think about it, recently I had indeed to do something video card related: https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/ |
| 20:02:46 | <Enrico63> | But I don't remember if I asked here or in another room |
| 21:14:49 | <liskin> | Enrico63: old picom used to do this |
| 21:15:15 | <liskin> | And when I say old I mean basically anything between like 2021 and 2025 or something, lol |
| 21:16:32 | <liskin> | Maybe they fixed it in 2024, dunno, but it's been there for ages. Or perhaps it was in X11's damage reporting or something. But I don't see it any more, so I assume it got fixed somehow somewhere |
| 21:20:14 | <L29Ah> | never had such on picom |
| 21:20:28 | <L29Ah> | but i never used it with nvidia |
| 21:20:33 | <Enrico63> | It's something that I've been observing since I addressed this https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/ (I have a 1070ti https://www.amazon.it/-/en/dp/B078MVFXFL) |
| 21:52:58 | <liskin> | L29Ah: intel igpu and modesetting xorg video driver was my setup |
| 21:55:53 | <geekosaur> | fwiw I switched picom to glx backend years ago because it was faster and the default (DAMAGE?) backend had problems like that |
| 21:56:57 | <geekosaur> | although there's still a comment in my config saying to remove it if I use it under virtualization, because glx made it tank badly in that case |
| 21:57:17 | <geekosaur> | (that said, I haven't tested that since I stopped using Macs and vmware fusion) |
