Looked at the Additional Drivers on Software & Updates and noticed that the driver for the Intel CPU was not enabled (Do Not Use was selected)
Given that right now I don't have much to loose, I enabled the additional driver. I now get a black screen with the latest Kernel, but no more flashing in Terminal Mode The 4.4.0 Kernel still works (see screenshot) ** Attachment added: "Screenshot ofAdditional Drivers" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1637032/+attachment/4775755/+files/Screenshot%20from%202016-11-11%2018-17-48.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637032 Title: The screen keeps flashing (even in text terminal mode) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1637032/+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
