Display corruption with Kernel 5.10 and 5.12

[Roland]

I have experienced constant but irregularly appearing display corruption problems with both Kernel 5.10 and 5.12 (I use both with version spcific uInitrd). The corruption has appeared with different tools (e.g. VLC, Browsers, Gparted). Sometimes even moving a window on the dekstop triggers the issue. The corrupted elements stay usually 'active', so you can e.g. close a window if you just find the correct point to click in the graphical mess.

Due to these problems I have switched back to Kernel 5.5 (with uInitrd 5.5) which seems to be totally devoid of these isues. And if I remember correctly, I have used the uInitrd 5.5 also with other 5.x Kernels and has not seen the corruption problem.

Hi Roland,

I tested some uInitrds very intensively and I don't have these issues with my X5000. Have you seen any error messages in the log files?

BTW, I have released a new uInitrd for the stable longterm kernel 5.10. You can find it in the kernel 5.10.39 package.
