Users report a white flickering screen on multiple systems that is tied to having 64GB or more memory. When S/G is enabled pages will get pinned to both VRAM carve out and system RAM leading to this. Until it can be fixed properly, disable S/G when 64GB of memory or more is detected. This will force pages to be pinned into VRAM. This should fix white screen flickers but if VRAM pressure is encountered may lead to black screens. It's a trade-off for now.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
