Description solexNY 2021-03-25 13:11:03 UTC
Description of problem: The screen randomly flickers on my Intel NUC7i7BNH @ any refresh rate setting above 29.97 Hz.  I have a 4k monitor attached via an HDMI cable rated for 8k.

dmesg output: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun

I have unsuccessfully tried 4 different kernel parameters: 

 grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="i915.enable_psr=0"
 grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="edp_vswing=2"
 grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="i915.enable_fbc=0"
 grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="intel_idle.max_cstate=4"


I expect that my setup should easily handle @ 60hz

Comment 1 solexNY 2021-04-09 16:44:12 UTC
Any word on this bug report, I realize that many are having the same problem but is there a resolution in sight.  I did not have this problem on Fedora 32?

Comment 2 solexNY 2021-04-28 12:48:11 UTC
I just tried Fedora 34 live off of a USB, same problem...

Comment 3 solexNY 2021-04-28 20:41:00 UTC
Tried 20.10 Pop-OS same problem... is this a kernel or driver problem?

Only way this works w/o major problem is to set the refresh rate to 24 Hz (Not optimal)  will look at going back to version Fedora 31

This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '33'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2021-11-30 18:40:41 UTC
Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
