Dear All,
This thread is a follow up of this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189562. I created a new thread as I think the focus of the problem has shifted and the old title might be misleading and lead to helpful people ignoring the thread. I hope this is ok. Please correct me if I did not behave correctly.
I think most of the "flashes" I see come from X switching from native resolution (3200x1800) which is used when starting, to 1920x1080, which I set in the configuration file.
So my question is: how can I have the 1920x1080 resolution at boot (i.e. during early boot, using the KMS and including the i915 driver in mkinitcipo?):
I tried:
1) Creating the configuration file in xorg.conf.d and including it into the mkinicpio
2) Setting the GRUB_GFX_MODE
3) Using the EDID method (with built-in resolution 1920x1080) as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ke … s_and_EDID
4) Using uvesafb as described in the WIKI: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/uvesafb
Nothing worked. X starts during boot always with the same native resolution, the switches to 1920x1080 when GDM starts. Can you please suggest a method to set the boot resolution? It is for sure technically possible as Ubuntu does it when installed on the same hardware.. I think I just haven't found a way...

Ok, answering my own question, it would appear that adding video=1920x1080 does the trick. However, I still see a lot of flashing (I think that people call it flickering)
