I upgraded yesterday from 5.7.4 to 5.7.5. I hoped the problem I have had |
| 38 |
been fixed, but no. If I switch desktops too many times, or too often or |
| 39 |
something, the desktop becomes unusable until I reboot (I haven't tried just |
| 40 |
restarting xdm). It flickers rapidly, bits of one desktop are shown in the |
| 41 |
middle of another or on a blank background, and it's hard to see just which |
| 42 |
is the currently active desktop. |

This may be a bad interaction with the xorg-driver for my AMD GPU, which has |
| 45 |
only been on the market for about a year. Though sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode |
| 46 |
hasn't changed since June. |
