With kernel 4.9-rc4 I saw gfx corruptions like https://martin-steigerwald.de/tmp/display-issues-with-kernel-4.9-rc4.png in Konversation, Konsole, Akregator and other KDE/Qt related apps up to the point of not being able to use these applications in a meaningful way. I first thought this might be due to upgrading Qt from 5.6.1 to 5.7.1, yet after rebooting into 4.8 Linux kernel as packaged in Debian I saw no gfx glitches like that anymore. Anything known about this? Machine is ThinkPad T520 with Sandybridge graphics. Kernel compiled with Debian distro GCC 6 but using no-pie makefile patch. Next week and weekend will be pretty busy and this is a production machine, so bisection or any other time-consuming work on this is out of question for me. I can provide additional details in case they are easy and quick enough to obtain.
