Flickering display on intel graphics after resume from hibernation

After latest kernel upgrade (to 3.6.2), when resuming from hibernation, the display is flickering.
Additionally, the /var/log/messages.log say (at time of resume):

Re: Flickering display on intel graphics after resume from hibernation

I had the same issue, it seems to disappear if using the new SNA acceleration method.
I created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with the following lines

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
EndSection

rebooted and it's resuming correctly from hibernation again.
Hope this helps!

Re: Flickering display on intel graphics after resume from hibernation

I think using sna is only wise if you don't have old hardware though.  Not saying it is not worth a try, but you didn't even mention what specific hardware you were using.

Re: Flickering display on intel graphics after resume from hibernation

I also thougt  that SNA is not relevant for my approx. 4 years old hardware, however this Gentoo page claims that SNA is also useful for chipsets other than SandyBridge.

I have plain old GM45, so I'm not sure. In the meantime I've also filed a bug at freedesktop.org.

Strangely enough, I currently do not see anymore these artefacts, but the WARNINGs in dmesg still exist after resume from hibernate.

Re: Flickering display on intel graphics after resume from hibernation

Yes, I didn't specify my hardware, sorry: it's an Intel GM45 integrated chipset, using the i915 kernel module.
Anyway, yesterday, after the latest upgrade to extra/xf86-video-intel-2.20.10-1 and extra/xorg-server-1.13.0-3 and reverting to the old UXA acceleration method, the issue for my card is fixed.

Re: Flickering display on intel graphics after resume from hibernation

I've had the exact same screen flickering and dmesg error as OP for quite a while now. I have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf, but previously there was no AccelMethod specified in there at all. After finding this thread I tried specifying both "uxa" and "sna", but had the same problem each time (though the pattern of the flickering did change). It's still doing it now, though I noticed that after I resume from hibernation and get the flickering, I can then suspend to RAM and resume again, and the problem goes away.

All my packages are up to date. lspci reports a "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)", using the i915 driver. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!
