Looks like this issue will never be fixed because no one cares about xf86-video-intel. Newer version of Ubuntu and Debian distributions switched to xf86-video-modesetting, more info can be found here: http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-Debian-Abandon- Intel-DDX
So the solution is simple: 1. sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel 2. sudo rm /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf (for those who created this file before) 3. reboot I've been testing this fix for 3 days and the only issue I found was xbacklight tool no longer working, which is a known issue as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586539 Title: Major screen flickering in Chromium and Google Chrome To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1586539/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
