If you do a google search and type in "top linux distrubutions" you will find this link:

The first on the search list will bring you to the top ten: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=majo
Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Debian GNU-Linux, Magela, Fedora, Open SUSE, Arch Linux, Cent OS, PC Linux OS, Slackware Linux, and Free BSD. These distributions should be a great start for the evaluation(s) for the CF-19, CF-30, and CF-52
Others that I've tried are Zorin, Navigatrix, CrunchBang, Lubuntu, Elementary, and SolydX. Here's another launchpad for future trials of operating systems and your hardware. Let's keep the thread alive and try a few.

powersave now says 0 but no change in flicker.

I don't care about the flicker I just want to know why.

Heartfelt thanks for chiming in with the info.

Maybe it would help if it loaded as a kernel parameter. Superuser required for all this of course, sudo if needed.

edit the file /etc/default/grub

Add this between the quotes to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

Code: Select all

i915.powersave=0

Just make sure your parameters are separated by spaces. For example if you have the reboot=pci as I suspect you might have on a CF-18 with quiet boot options, it should look like this, in no particular order:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet reboot=pci i915.powersave=0"

Update grub

Code: Select all

update-grub

If there are no errors, reboot. Otherwise report here.
