| May 15, 2018 at 13:20 | comment | added | Fabian Röling | New info! I found some screen recordings: The oldest two have no lag, then there's one where I had "wobbly windows" installed, all after that have the lag! So maybe installing wobbly windows messed something up that wasn't corrected when I uninstalled it again! I still don't know why it only happens with WiFi on, but that could be the cause. And I don't even have to do anything different next time I install the OS, I could even install Debian again, I just can't install wobbly windows ever (which I didn't plan anyway, I just had it for a few minutes for fun). | |

| May 13, 2018 at 13:33 | comment | added | Fabian Röling | So, @jdwolf, do I have to download one of those drivers or do you mean that it should already be installed? | |
| May 13, 2018 at 13:25 | comment | added | Fabian Röling | I added /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids into the question. | |

| May 13, 2018 at 10:06 | comment | added | jdwolf | Considering the cursor does not lag I would assume its not the screen but the GPU at issue. Causes could be bad driver interaction or bus errors. Bus errors would probably should up in journalcrl. Note that iwlwifi is a binary blob and so sometimes that leads to unforeseen compatibility issues. wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi | |
| May 13, 2018 at 0:48 | comment | added | George Vasiliou | You can try with 4.16. You might also have kernel 3.16 somewhere in your grub or in /boot | |
| May 12, 2018 at 21:06 | comment | added | Fabian Röling | No, it's 4.9.0-6. | |
| May 12, 2018 at 21:00 | comment | added | Fabian Röling | I have the options "Linux 4.16.0-1" and "Linux 4.9.0-4", both regular and recovery. Recovery is console only, 4.9.0-4 seems to change nothing. | |
| May 12, 2018 at 19:16 | comment | added | George Vasiliou | Can you try to boot with a different kernel...? Grub should give you such advanced options. | |
