Maybe a candidate for SRUs too after the fix hits eoan (19.10). ** Also affects: linux via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108514 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791312 Title: ubuntu 18.04 flickering screen with Radeon X1600 Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: my laptop: HP Compaq nx9420 my grafic card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV530/M56-P [Mobility Radeon X1600] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) attachment: the bug-apport-file Description: I start ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Kernel 4.15.0.33) in textmode; -> as soon as the kernel-module radeon.ko is loaded the screen starts flickering when starting the grafic-mode the flickering continues; so the screen is unusable. when setting the option "radeon.modeset=0" (thus: not use radeon drivers) the screen does not flicker but the resolution is limited to 1400x1050 (instead of natural 1680x1050) so I can not use this as work-around when using the old ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS (Kernel 3.13.0-157) the screen is o.k. NO flickering in textmode, nice grafic, NO flickering xrandr tells: 1680x1050 60.1 so I must stay on old ubuntu 14.04.05 ???
