Graphics / Linux Linux

On RHEL9 Systems we currently experience issues with heavy flickering/graphical issues using RTX 4500 ADA in Combination with an integrated Intel Chip. We narrowed down the issue this far:

  • It only happens on Systems with the RTX4500 ADA in Combination with an integrated Intel Chip. On Systems where only the RTX4500 is available no flickering appears

    02:00.0 VGAcompatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD104GL [RTX 4500 Ada Generation] (rev a1)
    80:14.5 Non-VGA unclassified device: Intel Corporation Device 7f2f (rev 10)
  • So far we observed this issue only on Redhat Systems, Ubuntu Systems don’t seem to be affected
  • The issue only persists while using the proprietary nvidia-drivers, the nouveau-driver is not affected
  • The issue affects atleast following versions:
    nvidia-driver-580.105.08-1.el9.x86_64
    nvidia-driver-575.57.08-1.el9.x86_64
  • The issue can be fixed temporarily fixed by setting following Environment Setting: XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR=1However, this causes trouble with other graphical applications
  • The issue affects X-based applications like ICAClient in multiple Versions
  • Disabling the Intel-Chip in BIOS or blacklisting the i915-Driver does not fix the behaviour
  • The issue affects multiple systems
