Re: [SOLVED] Screen blinking after update

Seems to be a bug w/ the proprietary nvidia driver starting in 390.25 and the Composite Pipeline. https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … e-empty-/2

AFAIK there's no real solution other than disabling the composition pipeline.

Thanks for the reply! That explains a lot.

Bummer. Turns out that I cannot avoid both screen tearing and flickering at the same time with nvidia 390 drivers. I guess I'll have to stick with 387 and kernel 4.14.14.
Damn, I alwas have issues with the new nvidia drivers every few months...
