I tried updating to the latest Kernel from 6.9 but every time I do the top half of my screen becomes very jumpy/glitch. Anyone else having the problem.

Same here. I experience this at refresh rate 144 Hz, but not on 120 Hz.

Ya I’m seeing the same thing using KDE. It seems to stop if I do something to cause the memory clock to jump to max, where it then stays. The problem comes back after waking from sleep until I trigger the memory clock to jump to max again.

I tried lowering the refresh rate to 120 Hz. It works but after reboot it goes back to jumpy (less than before). However, when I go back into the display settings there is a 2nd 120 Hz choice (select it and it clears until reboot). I am rolling back to 6.9.9 and will wait on the kernel for bit to see if this gets fix.

Owner of that thread here. It isn’t resolved yet.

@singe0072 Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:
Fire up YaST bootloader and select the Kernel Parameters tab and add amdgpu.sg_display=0 to the Optional Kernel Command Line Parameter, press ok to save, reboot and see if that helps.

@maisylover can you try too?

Looks like latest kernel (6.10.3-1) fixes the issue.

Thanks for the advice. I went to try it this morning (removing my zypper lock on the kernel-default and running an update) and the newest kernel is now 6.10.3-1-default. After the update to 6.10.3-1 (no more video problems at 144 Hz).

I am going to run 6.10.3-1 without the amdgpu.sg_display=0kernel parameter (disabling Scatter/Gather Support) and add it to my openSUSE notes.

Thanks

After updating today, everything is back to normal. :man_shrugging: Hope the rest of you are able to diagnose the issue, but it seems like updating to the latest packages fixed my issue.
