    Screen Refresh Issue & Graphic Artifacts

    Go easy on me; I'm a Linux Noob.

    I just installed Kali Linux onto a new ASUS laptop. The install went perfectly, but after the first reboot, I'm getting some strange graphic artifacts every time part of the screen refreshes. These artifacts are a bunch of multicolored "pixels" that momentarily block out anything new that shows up on the screen, even in the terminal window. I have to wait a second or two for the artifacts to disappear before I can see what was behind them. This happens with mouseover tips, right-click menus, and scrolling on webpages.

    I suspect this is a graphics card driver issue or screen refresh setting, but I'm not sure where to start the investigation. Any ideas?

    I tried taking a screenshot, but the artifacts don't show up.

    The laptop is an ASUS VivoBook F512DA: https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS...ook-15-F512DA/

    I'm getting exactly the same problem with my Asus laptop (on AMD Ryzen 5, like another guy on this forum)
    Did you find any solutions ?

    The issue is apparently within the Debian kernel. I don't know if it's been fixed yet. Honestly, I ended up reinstalling Windoze and running it in VirtualBox instead.
