Running the mainline kernel 4.10-rc2 and the nouveau driver on 17.04 means the bug does not appear; it does appear with the Nvidia 375 driver in the regular 17.04 kernel. The 4.10-rc2 kernel is significant because in the 4.9 and earlier kernels, the mouse cursor does not move from the top left corner of the screen.

I made a video illustrating the problem: http://damonlynch.net/share /Ubuntu1610screen-flicker.mp4 Driver is from the "graphics-drivers" PPA. At this point I don't know if it's a hardware problem or software problem -- I've never seen anything like it before. I've ruled out the DisplayPort cable as a problem, because it exhibits the same problem with two different cables. The LCD is a Dell UP3017.
