If that doesn't help, then the only solution is to switch to a different window manager, or use OpenGL recording. Uninstalling the driver for 2D acceleration ( xserver-xorg-video-intel, xf86-video-intel or similar). For Intel GPUs, the flickering can sometimes be eliminated by doing one of the following:Ĭhanging the acceleration method from SNA to UXA as described in this article or this video tutorial.
