The graphics for certain apps don’t work properly, others look perfectly normal.
*When I create a rectangle in Spectacle, for example the entire screen turns almost flush white/bright-light pastel colors.
*Most important is Blender’s Object or Edit mode windows don’t render properly, the face shading edges are jagged and blinks.
It’s the latest Blender version 4.2.3
The Blender available in YaST is version 2, which also has the same issue.
Single boot 15.6 (Not in VM etc)
KDE Plasma 5.27.11
Kernel: 6.4.0-150600.23.25-default(64-bit)
Graphics Platform X11
ASUS VivoBook Laptop
Intel i7 8 core 2.8ghz
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel Xe Graphics
I am using the Pacman repository.
I’ve been using OpenSuse on/off since about 2012 but I rely almost entirely on GUI available settings (YaST etc). I’ve tried to learn Konsole but have difficulty mastering it.
Anything you suggest I’m willing to try.
Thank you.
Not every Xe GPU works best using the Xe kernel driver. Without your complete CPU model we can’t even look it up. Anyway, you can test on your kernel cmdline (E at Grub menu) forcing a switch from Xe driver to i915 to see how it goes: xe.force_probe=‘!4c8b’ i915.force_probe=‘4c8b’. Probably it won’t work, as that 4 digit string is for my own Xe GPU. Running inxi -Gxx will report your GPU chip-ID to substitute for my 4c8b to try on yours.
Easier to try first is to check if you have xf86-video-intel installed. If you do, remove it and see how the default X driver works. It’s expected to work better on most, as it’s existence is primarily for antique Intel GPUs, and it hasn’t had an “official” update in over a decade.
The screenshot is an example of the incorrect render of the Blender editor.
The problem is not only in Blender but also some other programs such as Spectacle.
I didn’t give you a command to run. Adding parameters to kernel command line is a routine troubleshooting procedure. I gave you kernel command line options to test from your boot menu. You must strike the E key at that menu, as I wrote, which puts bootloader in edit mode. Then you navigate to the kernel command line, which starts with linu, move to the end of that line (which usually wraps), and add a space and those bolded parameters, as modified with the results from inxi, before exiting edit mode to proceed with boot. If it helps or solves your problem, you may report here and be directed how to make those parameters permanent, or look up how to do it via web search or openSUSE documentation.
If it does not help to add those parameters on kernel command line, please provide output here from inxi -GSaz from booting using those parameters, and also from booting without using them. In addition, run command sudo dmesg | susepaste -e 40320 and provide resulting URL here.
That repository you seem to have added needs to be removed, if in fact it was created, and that was not your intention. If sudo zypper lr shows it exists, remove it.
