Almost of time the screen turns grey colors and stops flickering. Then,
I have to try change screen resolution many times until colors are back,
and the flickering.

I have tried several screen resolutions and frequencies, including the
configuration that works fine with graphic Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM
3.6, 256 bits), that I got when I boot in recovery mode, choose
failsafeX and I stop the process with CTRL+C just after the X error.

Title:
  Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver

Status in Nouveau Xorg driver:
  Incomplete
Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There's an upstream bug reported here
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393 that causes screen
  flickering when using the Intel i915 builtin driver (at resolutions
  lower than the maximal one).

  I think that it will be fixed in newer kernel versions, but for the
  time being, as reported here
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393#c25 (and as
  personally tested) reverting those two commits fixes the problem.

  Would that be possible to release a fixed version for the 4.2.0
  stream?
