All the programs are flickering, even the i3bar. When I don't have any window open the background is not flickering (only i3 bar, the only program opened).
I have an Acer laptop connected through HDMI to an external screen, both are flickering, the same when I disconnect it. The flickering is permanent but doesn't have a perfect frequency. It's close to three time per second. The primary screen (my laptop) is 1440x900.
Did I give enough infos?
Thanks.
]]>Since the compton-3.0-1 update I got flickering screens. I am on 4.18.16-arch1-1-ARCH with i3 version 4.15.0.1-107-g34cf107. I retried with the new compton-3.0-4 version and still have a huge flickering.
I tried to set in my compton.conf:
backend = "xrender"; # instead of backend = "glx";
unredir-if-possible = false;
Flickering still here. Does someone has an idea?
Thanks for your time.
