My new Lenovo LOQ initially had some freezes and visual glitches on Fedora 42. I read through quite a large number of forum posts to find the solution, so I thought I’d write it up somewhere hopefully easier to access. The original solution is sourced from this blog post. Full credit for the solution goes to that author, but it’s not very discoverable.
The Fix
Edit i915.conf – the file might not exist, this is OK.
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/i915.confAdd these lines:
options i915 enable_psr=0
options i915 enable_guc=3
options i915 enable_fbc=1Two of those options are at their defaults, but it doesn’t hurt to add them.
Now, to incorporate those changes:
sudo dracut --forceHopefully this fixes any issues you might have been having! It certainly fixed my problems with the Framework.
