How can I disable GPU rendering in Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm with bad rendering issues... Seems that the Visual Studio Code window do not clean a screen area before redraw it. The same thing happens here with chrome browser, but in chrome I can start it with " --disable-gpu-rendering " and it goes well.

How can I disable GPU rendering in Visual Studio Code ?

I'm thinking it's a hardware specific problem, and I'm looking for a other way to solve it too.

May be useful know my hardware:

Machine: Notebook dell vostro 3500 (intel chipset)
CPU: Intel i5
RAM: 8G
linux kernel: 4.0
video graphics: intel i915 (latest)
X -version: X.Org X Server 1.14.0

Answer 1

Under Windows, I can confirm that launching VSCode with --disable-gpu does not create a GPU process:

C:UsersalexAppDataLocalCodeapp-0.1.0>Code.exe --disable-gpu

Perhaps the same flag works on Linux too?
