the screen flicker when i open some program like firefox, i tried nvidia
drivers to GeForce 8200M GPU, but no work to this hardware, i want to use
nouveau drivers but need to fix the flicker problems. Can you help me with
this?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

We actually fixed a few of those issues on those old GPUs. But I don't
think they are part of any mesa release yet:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/1387d1d41103b3120d40f93f66a7cfe00304bfd7

and we have a pending MR:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/12154
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/12241

Glenn, is there some update on those MRs? In case you are short on
time, maybe somebody else should take a look?
