Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached flicker video and the submitted log reports, then trace the DisplayPort display path in the Rust driver and compare it with HDMI behavior. The report identifies an ASUS VG27A at 2560×1440 and a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti; determine what log or reproduction evidence isolates the cause and confirm the black screen and flickering no longer occur over DisplayPort.
