[SOLVED] application freeze in kernel 5.11.2 with intel i5
Hey
Ive been using Linux-lts 5.10 before but this month i switched to Linux 5.11.2-arch1-1 and now i have some graphical freeze with some of applications
for example, i cant work with discord at all (discord official package) or the brave browser (aur package)
they execute but after that they just freeze graphically, their input work, for example in discord you can click on a button but it wont show you the change until you move the window or change the scale,
before this i didn't have any problem in LTS, i searched about it and i didn't find anything about this problem in this kernel.
this is my system information:
CPU: Intel i5 (4300n)
memory 8G
swap: 16G
kernel: 5.11.2
Im using dwm, also i tried Kde and gnome too but i had this problem in both of them.
should i downgrade kernel or back to lts??
(sorry for my bad english 
)

EDIT:
thanks to seth
1. "remove" the xf86-video-intel package
2. find a way to pass these "i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_fbc=0 i915.enable_psr=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=1" variables to my kernel (in my case, im using grub so, i just opened the /boot/grub/grub.cfg as root and add those variables in in front of linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux after rw
3. reboot

xf86-video-intel or modesetting driver?
If intel, remove that.
Otherwise try passing "i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_fbc=0 i915.enable_psr=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=1" to the kernel.

You're supposed to *remove* xf86-video-intel.
Make sure to also remove all configurations in /{etc,usr/share}/X11/xorg.conf.d that might reference the driver.

Re: [SOLVED] application freeze in kernel 5.11.2 with intel i5
You should test whether you get away with less of the kernel parameters since they'll lead to increased battery draw.
