Hi guys. I've just upgraded to f37 and for the first time I experience what I've heard others "suffered" from - some builtin LED/LCD monitor issues which, if I remembered correctly had something to do with power management deep in kernel/drivers. Does anybody else see this? Again, this is a first for me, no problems with previous Fedora versions. A quick fix is to bring up "Displays" from settings - I have an external monitor connected - and switch from "Join" to "Mirror" and back to "Join", which is how I have it. many thanks, L.

F37 dropped vaapi support from mesa because of patent issues. I don't know if that is your issue, but there are freeworld packages on rpmfusion that restore the functionality. But, they require a dnf swap to do so. dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld dnf swap mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld

If you just upgraded, then you probably don't have an older kernel to try, but you could try a newer kernel by updating. Also, you could get an older kernel at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 by downloading the kernel rpms you have installed and install it with dnf -C install [kernel rpms you downloaded] in the directory where the rpms are. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
