#Graphical corruption when viewing text-heavy websites

I installed secureblue on my Framework 13 recently (HX 370 with Radeon 890M iGPU) and noticed glitching when mousing over text in text-heavy websites. I've observed this happening in Trivalent, Brave, and Firefox, so I don't think it's a bug in Trivalent specifically. Could it be a GPU driver bug? Are people seeing this on base Fedora Silverblue?

See attached video for an example of the glitching.

I'm running secureblue on a Framework 13 AMD (though it's a 7040 series so slightly older CPU and iGPU model), and I've never seen graphical glitches like that in any browser

#

might be worth asking on the Framework community forum

#

it does look like the visual glitches extend to the top bar, not just within the browser window, so it makes me think it might be a hardware issue independent of the browser... like could it be a loose cable or something? did you assemble it yourself or buy it preassembled?

doesn't look like the browser itself since the flicker is occurring on the whole screen

Update: I booted into Ubuntu 25.04 off a USB drive, which uses Mesa 25.0 and Linux 6.14 (same as secureblue/fedora silverblue), and got the same glitching on the same page.

#

I then tried Debian 13/testing, which uses Mesa 25.0 and Linux 6.12, with the same browser and page (Firefox in all cases) and the glitching did not occur.

#

So the problem seems to be in Linux 6.14, most likely the amdgpu driver. It also seems likely the problem was introduced in Linux 6.13, though of course I don't have evidence since I didn't test using a distro with 6.13.

#

I'll file a bug report against amdgpu on freedesktop.

amdgpu driver moment buildfailed

I've had weird graphical glitches come and go with amdgpu before. That driver has a weird amount of instability and churn for some reason. Linux 6.10-6.12 (prior to 6.12 stabilizing as LTS) was especially bad.

#

the funny thing is, at least anecdotally, the driver seems to have gotten less stable over time...

I don't think the driver has any "AI" garbage in it, does it? it's just AMD's marketing term for their latest generation of hardware
