Public bug reported: [Impact] Screen flickers rapidly when two 4K 60Hz monitors are connected to AMD Oland GFX. [Fix] Disable certain power saving feature to keep the performance to output two 4K 60Hz monitors.
[Test] Plug two 4K 60Hz and stare at the monitors. With the patch applied, no more flickers on the screen. [Where problems could occur] The GFX clock was restrained for stability on laptops. So if those laptops have ability to output to dual 4K 60Hz monitors, the systems can become unstable. However, Oland is really old chip, those laptops neither have 4K LVDS, nor have 4K capable HDMI/DP output. ** Affects: hwe-next Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: Won't Fix ** Affects: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Tags: oem-priority originate-from-1916426 originate-from-1921998 stella ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu Hirsute) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux-oem-5.10 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: oem-priority originate-from-1916426 stella ** Tags added: originate-from-1921998 -- 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/1928361 Title: Fix screen flickering when two 4K 60Hz monitors are connected to AMD Oland GFX Status in HWE Next: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-oem-5.10 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Focal: Won't Fix Status in linux-oem-5.10 source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Hirsute: Confirmed Status in linux-oem-5.10 source package in Hirsute: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] Screen flickers rapidly when two 4K 60Hz monitors are connected to AMD Oland GFX.
