English Hardware

JFYI: Kernel version 7.1.8 is on its way to Tumbleweed (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1370434).

Does kernel 7.1.8 from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ solve the issue described here?

23

canā€™t edit my post above so:

but still see kwin_wayland[1412]: atomic commit failed: Device or resource busy in journal but donā€™t notice any lag or glitches.

okay the latest snapshot 20260809 released! donā€™t include 7.1.8. The fix is in 7.1.8.

When i download 7.1.8 from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/kernel-default-7.1.8-3.1.gc1ba32a.x86_64.rpm

sudo zypper install kernel-default-7.1.8-3.1.gc1ba32a.x86_64.rpm

'kernel-default-7.1.8-3.1.gc1ba32a.x86_64.rpm' looks like an RPM file. Will try to use it.

Itā€™s maybe to early to say, but this snapshot with kernel 7.1.8 appears to have fixed the issue, at least for me. Iā€™ll mark as solution after further testing.

Kernel 7.1.8 seems to have fixed the graphical glitches for me too (running for a few hours now).

Unfortunately the brightness issue is still there so that seems a separate bug (havenā€™t found any info on it yet)ā€¦

Regarding your brightness issue mentioned in Kernel 7.1.6 causing graphical glitching on 9070/9060 GPU - #2 by sevens, a fix has recently been sent upstream: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20260812144901.2154412-1-alexander.deucher@amd.com/T/#u. Presumably part of kernel 7.2.1. As a workaround, for the time being, try adding amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x40000to the kernel command line.

I have to clarify that the aforementioned fix is for the 7.1.x series only, kernel 7.2 should work just fine.
