2026-01-29 19:54:50 +0000 <Enrico63> Hello. I'm observing a very weird behavior in the terminal, recently, where the text start flickering like shown in this video: https://streamable.com/84cbyw. At the beginning of the video I'm in Vim, but as you can see towards the end, where I quit Vim, the flickering continues. Furthemore, while that screencast shows urxvt, in an attempt of
2026-01-29 19:54:50 +0000 <Enrico63> avoiding the bug using another terminal, I've realized that UXTerm suffers the same issue, https://streamable.com/tvj4g5, so the problem is not the terminal!
2026-01-29 19:54:51 +0000 <Enrico63> Anybody has any idea what it could be?
2026-01-29 19:55:15 +0000 <Enrico63> The problem not being the terminal, I'm asking here because I use xmonad
2026-01-29 19:57:25 +0000 <L29Ah> your gpu{, drivers}
2026-01-29 19:58:02 +0000 <L29Ah> pretty sure the flickering will continue if you kill xmonad
2026-01-29 20:00:22 +0000 <geekosaur> likewise. xmonad doesn't control rendering of client windows in any way
2026-01-29 20:00:29 +0000 <geekosaur> just placement and size
2026-01-29 20:02:29 +0000 <Enrico63> Oh, now that I think about it, recently I had indeed to do something video card related: https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-ker…
2026-01-29 20:02:46 +0000 <Enrico63> But I don't remember if I asked here or in another room
2026-01-29 21:14:49 +0000 <liskin> Enrico63: old picom used to do this
2026-01-29 21:15:15 +0000 <liskin> And when I say old I mean basically anything between like 2021 and 2025 or something, lol
2026-01-29 21:16:32 +0000 <liskin> Maybe they fixed it in 2024, dunno, but it's been there for ages. Or perhaps it was in X11's damage reporting or something. But I don't see it any more, so I assume it got fixed somehow somewhere
2026-01-29 21:20:14 +0000 <L29Ah> never had such on picom
2026-01-29 21:20:28 +0000 <L29Ah> but i never used it with nvidia
2026-01-29 21:20:33 +0000 <Enrico63> It's something that I've been observing since I addressed this https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-ker… (I have a 1070ti https://www.amazon.it/-/en/dp/B078MVFXFL)
2026-01-29 21:52:58 +0000 <liskin> L29Ah: intel igpu and modesetting xorg video driver was my setup
2026-01-29 21:55:53 +0000 <geekosaur> fwiw I switched picom to glx backend years ago because it was faster and the default (DAMAGE?) backend had problems like that
2026-01-29 21:56:57 +0000 <geekosaur> although there's still a comment in my config saying to remove it if I use it under virtualization, because glx made it tank badly in that case
2026-01-29 21:57:17 +0000 <geekosaur> (that said, I haven't tested that since I stopped using Macs and vmware fusion)
