With kernel 4.9-rc4 I saw gfx corruptions like
https://martin-steigerwald.de/tmp/display-issues-with-kernel-4.9-rc4.png
in Konversation, Konsole, Akregator and other KDE/Qt related apps up to the
point of not being able to use these applications in a meaningful way.
I first thought this might be due to upgrading Qt from 5.6.1 to 5.7.1, yet
after rebooting into 4.8 Linux kernel as packaged in Debian I saw no gfx
glitches like that anymore.
Anything known about this?
Machine is ThinkPad T520 with Sandybridge graphics.
Kernel compiled with Debian distro GCC 6 but using no-pie makefile patch.
Next week and weekend will be pretty busy and this is a production machine, so
bisection or any other time-consuming work on this is out of question for me.
I can provide additional details in case they are easy and quick enough to
obtain.
