@SGaist
We are running Qt on customized TI AM437x boards. Please find below board details and SW componentsKernel Version: 4.19.94
SOC: TI AM4378
Resolution: 1024*600
Screen size: 7" & 10"
GPU: SGX530 Graphics Engine -
Could it be that you have the tty cursor that is blinking through your UI ?
-
@SGaist
I have disabled the tty cursor. Still, I could see flickering on UI.
Below is the code, I have commented
. -
Would it be possible to see the video of the flickering ?
-
@SGaist
I am not able to attach the video in this forum. I am getting below error
So, I am attaching the image
Please refer to the attached image where the image in top right corner is the image of previous screen. It is displaying in fraction of seconds and goes off., and this flickering happens continuously
-
Is it a widget or Qt quick application ?

@SGaist
It is a Qt Quick application -
Do you have the same issue with a minimal default application ?
-
@SGaist Thank you for your response
I have resolved this issue by changing the graphics driver.
I am attaching the link below for others who are facing this kind of problem. -
Hi @SGaist , I'm encountering a similar issue in our application — there's a brief flicker with a light white background whenever a button is clicked.
Here are the details of the machine -

Might be a silly question but why not use the Qt 6 version that comes with your distribution ?
