18:51 rpigott: Can I get amdgpu to load a specific firmware?
18:51 rpigott: A week or two ago I started getting these pink&green block artifacts flickering across my screen in games
18:52 rpigott: only seem to appear when sway can enable direct scanout b/c they stop when a notification is on-screen
18:52 rpigott: I tried reverting kernel and mesa updates in that window but they don't disappear, but the firmware also seems to have bumped version around then
18:53 rpigott: gpu is 6750xt and I see a log message "... VCN firmware version ENC: 1.32" change to version ENC: 1.33 around then.
18:56 rpigott: also, at least in Street Figher 6, RADV_DEBUG=nodcc seems to replace the flickering blocks with a juddery tearing effect, even with "allow_tearing no" set in sway.
19:01 rpigott: I mean the tearing effect might be present without the envvar, but its hard to tell through the shimmering blocks.
19:34 Ermine: you may want to try to downgrade linux-firmware package
