After recent updates I see two things changed: plymouth is darker. Yeah I know it sounds silly, but it is, it's not the theme, I can see it switching from brighter to slightly darker (around 5% brightness difference). Second, I started to see the screen refresh rate. It's a fairly recent notebook (Lenovo X1 Carbon) and I haven't seen this until some recent updates. The Display settings are still the same: 60 Hz refresh rate. Please help, I'm really getting tired. It's especially visible when looking at big empty dark (grayish) windows (yes, the terminal). I dunno whether the plymouth thing is related, but I need to solve the flickr, I just thought it might be related. Thank you
This task depends upon

What was updated? Is this only in X, or does it happen at a tty? Plymouth is unsupported, so disable that for testing.

Ping? I need something here.

I can't tell exactly, but I think it's in tty too. I disabled plymouth. The reason it got darker is that it restored the brightness level.

I apologize, this kind of fell through the cracks when I couldn't figure out where to assign it. Is it still happening? Did you make any progress in figuring out where the problem lies?
