Just upgraded to 15.4 this evening.
So far so good, except 2 medium annoyances.

CPU and RAM seems to be a bit more sollcited than before.
My mouse pointer is flickering most of the time. Is this an Xorg update related issue ?

Kudos to the deepin team, by the way.
I love this distro more an more each day. 4 complete months without booting any Windows partition or OS X system...
I love you guys and girls !
Thanks

Update:
Flickering's gone after a reboot and CPU seems back to normal... for a while...

Flickering tends to reappear, even with no application loaded...

Hi,
It fixes the glitch, but makes the control center viewing more difficult due to the lack of "glass effect".
Control center is 50% transparent, and shows the background.

I didn't have this issue whenn runninng 15.3.
Something to do with hw acceleration of the i915 card with kernel 4.9 ?

Hi Michael.
Thanks for the answer.

As qujin5211 pointed it out, FX turn off stops the flickering.
Here's my log

Ok, just found a solution here :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#Xorg_configuration

Here's whats seems to 'fix' (in fact, reduces) the problem, for intel graphics cards (i915 and so on...)
Create (or update) /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Copy the Code

Proceed with a subtle

sudo reboot

Copy the Code

and voilà...

Please make sure you don't introduce syntax mistakes within the xorg/20-intel.conf file, it will crash your X session and leave your screen desperatly empty...
Just in case you messed up, log into a new tty (ctrl +alt +f2, for exemple) and correct the file
