|    linux: VT refresh doesn't work reliably     |
|    04 Jan 26 18:50:01    |
      XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist       From: eof@kiyuko.org              Source: linux       Version: 6.17.13-1       Severity: normal              I'm running testing on a Surface Go 2 tablet and things overall work       pretty nicely. I had installed stable originally, but later upgraded       primarily to enjoy newer and more refined versions of phosh.              I have, however, encountered one regression: VTs don't work correctly       with the latest kernel, to the point where they're pretty much       unusable.              The behavior I'm seeing is as such: from the Wayland (phosh) session       running on tty7, I can switch to a tty2 using Ctrl+Alt+F2, and the       usual login prompt is displayed correctly. When I type in my       username, however, the screen doesn't get updated.              I can force an update by switching to other VTs and then back. There       doesn't seem to be a precise pattern to how many of these switches       are necessary to trigger a refresh: sometimes it's enough to do               tty2 -> tty3 -> tty2              but other times additional switches are needed. For each of these       switches, there's a chance that the login prompt will be updated to       show the actual VT in the first line, while other times that won't       happen. Again, if there's a pattern to this, I haven't been able to       figure out what it is. Switching to the Wayland session on tty7 and       then back reliably forces a refresh.              Additionally, the entire screen occasionally gets corrupted while       sitting idle. It's hard to describe, but it looks as if the rows of       pixels all get shifted horizontally by different amounts. The       corruption lasts maybe 20-30 seconds, then things return to normal. I       can take a picture of the screen and attach it to the bug report if       that's useful.              None of this happens when booting the current stable kernel,       linux-image-6.12.57+deb13-amd64 (6.12.57-1), so it appears to be a       kernel regression.              Note that I'm working under the assumption that the issue is limited       to the Surface Go 2 hardware, but in reality I'm not running testing       on any other machine right now so it could be more widespread. I just       expect that it would have been noticed and reported already if that       had been the case.              I'm happy to provide any additional information upon request.                     -- System Information:       Debian Release: 13.2        APT prefers stable-updates        APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500,       'stable')       Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)              Kernel: Linux 6.12.57+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT)       Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8),        ANGUAGE=en_US:en       Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash       Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)       LSM: AppArmor: enabled              -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----              iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEO48t9niVypx3EjLf954fxUKFg6wFAmlapdoACgkQ954fxUKF       g6ywHRAAoFdqTjU1FhqI0rKa2Fa0rlkVFpVIoXyfB4fbyvKJPOIv6SCgQo1B5FA6       3dbQWP8za/2JBBwPfTPd5ewyXJ/R4Q7bEBdM/K0C5FfS6YudrxxS/rKyYuWiCxUM       jPoCIs9BNInSrWj2pOgw8kG/9U8BzxVbXP9DWRl9AeUgxvDqXUm/cICmBPOLH3sF       LyUHRif2ljJlYk+768863CcX7J2YWWFhl53iKMq+BnMDd+Bc1AR1ZX0UwEvBEi4M       ldntk+aXEgbw41wXMXIj2GIz5FAop9fUVsKfiFO3YCpkp669mjPzffxstHCHxYL7       0a0CoODJ3j1nguQ0RTbDU3Q3o6aUTkYWe+spjea3/b2VBrPG28jxhULdgtO5bNNs       xL5ZoRxaTdGuG1FyspaOD2wxfioRbByLXXpXkAmJLU5uDCtF6tKB8NCy9NTRdTX3       nedy6omh2ql4lv9C0UwsKLKENz3v+U5xnWHggO22q6QTTgnxuBCGvY2eDiWmrJpx       uQznpTonYRHxl1H0yvqX7LclsKoAgfWGgIBU1dPzImXjasmodtJlicyNfhrSGJas       WkONPuArdHBrKtdkzvgBkZwQgZf1DmiUDObwL2T7eg5coFom9wociXLbW8ImiTOH       norroKFV+IBJHhNOB6zrjxLDQPkw6MTMW0VFaZ9hAaeANgQzbiE=       =oaYQ       -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
