I am now no longer seeing the flicker and resolution issues much (and poking the hardware, e.g. by opening the Display control panel usually gets rid of it). I have a suspicion there might be hardware issues too. The mouse cursor issue is still present with kernel 4.2.0-7-generic, and still not present with the mainline kernel, tested with 4.2.0-040200-generic. However it is very hard to get a graphical log-in with either of the 4.2 kernels at all - it is shown briefly, then I have a black screen and can get a VT but usually not an X console. I am currently using 4.1.6-040106-generic again, which just now is working as well as Ubuntu 15.04 did.
