The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
As a reminder and a bump set MK3 (CF-30) bios to internal lcd in bios and not a flicker in sight.
Interesting things.
CF-30 Mark 2 does not have the flickeritis.
I'm running a huge update as we speak...will report if any change.

Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
Do you have Display and Monitor sections in xorg.conf? I don't think our old laptops LCD panels properly report EDID, so the driver doesn't know the full capabilities of the display without it being manually detailed in xorg.

Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
That would be a negative.
I never went that far until the glitch (flicker).
It's all learning curve.
Thanks,

Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
Copy that. It's not all that necessary, but detailing our ancient LCD's parameters in xorg allows us to set different refresh rates and resolutions in our respective monitor control panels or xrandr. Otherwise we're locked at basic VESA and 60Hz.Sadlmkr wrote:That would be a negative.

I haven't really played around with monitors plugged into our VGA ports and how they are recognized and controlled. At this point it's more of a curiosity. Ultimately I am searching for an actual technical explanation for our flickering problems instead of hacking half-assed solutions.

Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
Total agreement with the last line. I care more for the why then the actual fix. Meanwhile I can use a LTS version with the exterior monitor disabled in bios.kode-niner wrote:Copy that.

Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
Just brainstorming here with the left and right coasts. I can not help but wonder if it is as simple as a custom video driver from robolinux: http://sourceforge.net/projects/robolinux/files/
They will build for free a custom wifi and or video driver if none of the generic ones that load will work for your system. I've talked to Sadlmkr about this and posted another link to their site, but no one has tried out the new debian operating system they have available. Currently they have one for Mint, one for OpenSuse, and a debian version for xfce and gnome. This could be the end of a MK3 CF-30 flicker...

Re: The Toughbook Intel GMA flicker on Linux thread
FYI.
Clean install, then all updates available, of Mint 17.1 Mate on a CF-19MK4. There is no flicker. Screen looks as it should....great!

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!
Motorsports - the only real sport. If it doesn't have a motor, it is just a game.
There is always something waiting at the end of the road, if you are not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.

This thread should be a sticky since we found a solution.
