Bug#884001: linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64: severe screen flickering and subsequent system freeze on intel broadwell after upgrade to stretch
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.65-3+deb9u2
Followup-For: Bug #884001
Dear Maintainer,
after recently upgrading from jessie to stretch my laptop with intel core
i5-5200U became unusable with kernel 4.9:
a few minutes after booting I would get severe screen flickering with
subsequent complete system freeze requiring a hard reset.
This happened every time, and more quickly in gnome (X or wayland) than xfce
(but eventually also there).
The logs did not show anything, unfortunately.
The problem went away after upgrading to kernel 4.14 from stretch-backports. (I
still get minor flickering where the screen "slides" sideways sometimes after
user switch, but no more crashes.)
I should also mention that I did not experience this bug on jessie where I was
using kernel 4.9 from jessie-backports (with boot parameter
"i915.enable_psr=0") with no problems for many months.
Thanks, Daniel
