I also have some problems with flicker on XPS 13(9350), but my flickering is only on the chrome viewport, when moving the mouse over elements on the page that uses animations the viewport turns black(?) for a short time(some ms).
The flickering started recently. Not sure if this is related, but I just wanted to add it in case it is helpful for someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561729 Title: Screen flickering on i915_bpo Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hey Guys, i am encountering some random screen flickering after i launched google-chrome. this persists even after closing chrome. it is like the screen wents black for a fracture of a second. when it happens dmesg reports: [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun I am currently on Ubuntu 1604 Daily: Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Release: 16.04 PS: It is a Dell XPS 13 9530 with no external display attached.
