@John Smith: I have two older laptops with Intel chips, one Westmere and
one Ivy Bridge architecture. Only one solution fixed the screen flickers
on both laptop, installing the drm-intel-nightly kernel:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/current/
I use this suggested config for Xorg, but I don't think it has any
effect:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "TearFree" "true"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
I tried many kernels versions, tinkering with the Xorg configm, but the
nightly kernel was the real cure to use the intel driver in Xorg on my
laptops.
