DetailsDescription:
After upgrading to xorg-server(-common) to version 1.20.5-4, some applications are lagging. For example, when scrolling a web page in Firefox, it "freezes" for 1-2 seconds. In Telegram (Messenger), typing a message also lags (the text input doesn't update as I type) for 1-2 seconds. This goes on and off all the time, it works smoothly for a few seconds, then lags for 1-2s, then works smoothly again for a few seconds. Some applications don't seem to lag, I tested Google Chrome (yikes), PyCharm, kitty (terminal emulator), to name a few. I have isolated this issue to the xorg-server package. It is not a lag in applications - I tried to make a screen recording using `simplescreenrecorder` but the lag wasn't seen on the video. I have isolated this issue to version 1.20.5-4. Previous version (1.20.5-3) works as expected. I use Archlinux on Dell XPS 9570. I use Intel GPU, Nvidia is switched off using bbswitch package. Additional info: * package version(s) = 1.20.5-4 * config and/or log files etc. = nothing custom, please instruct me how to get the logs that might be useful * link to upstream bug report, if any = not reported upstream |

The culprit was xf86-video-intel. See here:

After removing it, it came back to normal.
