This bug still hasn't been fixed 7 months later. I just switched to the hwe kernel of 16.04 and I am likewise affected.
This may have been mentioned in upstream but the flickering happens only when framebuffer hasn't changed. If you constantly move your mouse, it'll stop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627214 Title: Random display flickering on Kernel 4.8 with dual-screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1627214/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
