Typo?

4.19 still has the 144hz display bug on AMD cards. Bummer.

I've found one thread so far on another site with someone having the same exact problem. He's using Vega and KDE/arch. I'm on Ubuntu 18.10/GNOME and using an RX480.

If anyone has more info, please share. I might need to make that bug ticket already.

I'm on Manjaro with a Rx580 and can't confirm that it is a general thing...normally running 120 hz, but just tried 144 and that is also fine

Appreciate the feedback. On my machine it's only 144hz that exhibits the problem, when I set it to 120hz everything is fine. But it just feels silly not to use 144hz with my setup so I went back to 4.18 (compiled 4.18.17 and still all is well). The distortion is on the right hand side by the way, it's subtle if you're just taking a quick glance.

I also compiled amd-staging-drm-next yesterday and that had the problem too, so if it is amdgpu/drm related, the problem is still there I believe.

I missed it! SPARC64

Ha! And yet you still managed to catch another one.

Hopefully next cycle they will fix the blank screen I experience on ultrawide monitors with the RX460.
