Hello, opensuse v42.1 linux 4.1.20-11-default x86_64 gnome 3.16.2 asus 2560x1440 monitor This is an odd issue. I invested in a new video adapter, a VisionTek unit based on Radeon r7 360. Its performance is quite excellent. It replaces an otherwise fine adapter, a radeon hd4770, whose fan had become irritatingly noisy. There appear to be two significant issues with the new adapter and the default video driver. First, the pointer icon flickers. It flickers like a candle does, in a somewhat random manner. Even weirder, it is worst at the top of the screen and become progressively less flicker-y as the pointer moves lower until it is about a third of the way down, where the flickering stops. Second, and worse, if the screen is blanked and restored, the response time to mouse clicks becomes quite extended, initially about 2 seconds instead of instantly. If the screen blanks again, the response stretches to 8 seconds. I have turned off screen blanking/locking to prevent the issue. My (wild-ass) guess is that the driver goes into a "sleep" mode and does not wake up when the screen is restored. Neither of these was a problem with the older adapter. Has anyone seen such peculiar behavior? Is there a better forum for exploring this? -- James Moe moe dot james at sohnen-moe dot com 520.743.3936
