this is my first time posting in the eos forum - i posted this question in the subreddit and members seemed to think i’d have an easier job finding a solution here.
i’m still a newbie so please forgive any dumb questions or confusion i may have! here is a link to a video and picture of what my screen keeps doing.
there seems to be somewhat of a pattern to when the screen goes out - it’s usually when i am opening or downloading a new application. suddenly it’s just colorful noise all over the screen. sometimes the screen will flash in and out - if i hold the mouse very still, the screen sometimes comes back, but as soon as i move the mouse again, it’s back to the noise.
i even tried completely re-installing/“booting” EOS from scratch. this seemed to work for a while, but after a couple hours the screen went out again.
i’m not sure what other information might be necessary to solve this problem, but if you just let me know i’ll do my best to get whatever details you ask for.
this is a brand new surface pro 8, so i’m hoping to god this problem is solveable. thanks in advance for any and all help - i appreciate your time immensely.
Do you have package linux-firmware-marvell installed? If not (and still have issues), you might want to try installing it.
Usually it is better to start a new thread for a new question in order to keep threads reasonably short. In the new thread you can of course refer to this thread if needed.
And if you feel Rick’s suggestion about installing xf86-video-intel solves the issue, please mark it as the solution. This makes it easier for others to find solutions.
I saw users on telegram with iris gpu before needing the xf86 package… and mostl some extra option for the driver like psr=0 to disable some powersaving option.
