I am newbie on this OS, I could installed it, and EndeavourOS works, but I have this annoying bug.
When I click some buttons like taskbar or welcome app the display goes off and gets on again, if you don’t save monitor config, you will get a default monitor config warning. this bug happens with any desktop or window option.
That is not the bug, the real bug is, if the display goes off and gets on again three times, it begins the logging out process, all apps are closed, nothing is saved and I have to log in again.
The chance of happening that is bigger if you left idle the PC some time.

Hello and welcome to the
I see that you’re using the zen kernel on a pretty old Pentium D laptop with integrated graphics. I would like to suggest you try the LTS kernel because LTS has more backward compatibility than the ZEN kernel.
As a side note, how old is that laptop?

Welcome to EndeavourOS. I was going to ask something similar, I have an old MacBook from 2012 which my main computer, and I have an old MacBook from 2011. I was using the 2011 as a fun one to see what I could do and what not and I tried the zen kernel on it since I didn’t know much about it. When it had that kernel installed the screen would go out a lot. I chalked it up to my system not being able to handle this kernel since it is designed for performance. I had no issues with that computer running the standard kernel, never tried the LTS one though. Have you tried other kernels @zygarte ?

it has a Pentium 4 double core, GPU, intel 965, 256 MB

I’m using default kernel from usb media, I had to install lxqt, because xfce has some gpu issues and that bug is more likely to happen
Kernel: 6.1.12-zen1-1-zen
it says so you may have selected this in addition, at the initial install process.What will result in booting zen per default while main kernel is also installed as second option in boot menu.
But same a the posters before I would suggest to use LTS Kernel and may try to switch to legacy Mesa package too mesa-amber as we see GPU related issues…

Easiest way to switch your kernels is to use akm application provided by

How I can to switch to legacy Mesa package?
mesa-amber is the legacy Mesa package which includes the classic (non-Gallium3D) drivers for older hardware:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenGL
simply install it and replace default mesa:sudo pacman -S mesa-amber

Did you restart the system after installing the kernel?

With mesa-amber, the bug happens again
i bet this is not a bug looks more like some hardware issue.
something like this:sudo dmesg -rl warn,err,crit | eos-sendlog

The top most, “Excess arguments - ASL declared 5, ACPI requires 4”, indicates the BIOS is old. Can you search to see if a new bios is available for this machine/laptop?
A freebsd user fixed this several years ago , but went way beyond what most users could do with patching the bios.

I cannot upgrade bios, my pc is an old hp small form factor 7700, its web doesn’t have a possible upgrade.
Furthermore, “reset: reached maximal consecutive resets: disabling the device”, I think that is the event of bug, because it happens after the third time when the screen has a refresh, and if I delete the saved monitor config, every time that screen goes black, before session is terminated, I got a warning of lxqt-monitor-config
I just want to say that the title of your post is highly annoying to me. We’re thankful you are giving us a try and it’s a pity you encounter these bugs.
EndeavourOS is led by a couple of enthusiasts surrounded by a very friendly and helpful community. NONE OF US is paid to develop this distro or to help you.
