I can now officially confirm, that simply doing as you mentioned: sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "DRI" "3" EndSection Has FIXED the issue entirely. I feel that this change should be made permanent in 16.04 LTS to fix any Intel issues regarding sandy-bridge GPU's or higher. -- 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/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1657875/+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
