Hello Christopher, In some recent tests: a. It occurs with monitor connected either on the laptop's HDMI, or the docking stations HDMI. b. In one case monitor is VGA (with converter), in the other it is HDMI. c. I have no access to other type, for the moment. d. I have not disabled the card, but I have used it only with power supply, so perfromance profile should be enabled. e. The nvidia proprietary does not work correctly. It causes a lot of issues, including image corruption and freezing of all when suspending. Also, it does not properly drive the externral monitor. f. I will try to check with the image you mentioned. However, the problem seems to exist since quite some time. My system is fully updated to the most current modification. g. The flickering on basic monitor changes with what windows are open. For example, it is always worse when evolution is maximized there. Some times it goes away if I open a gedit write some few lines and then mark them using the mouse. Sometimes it just needs few clicks within the flickering area or even just leaving the cursor there for few seconds. h. For the external monitor issue, the two programs that suffer most are HipChat and Viber. Both are fine if one part resides on the standard monitor.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It seems to be duplicate of both : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1641467 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1629300 . Possibly related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1278223 A - flickering in first display. The zone starts just below the top panel and its height is about 1/7 of the screen. Flickering starts immediately entering the zone, even half of the pointer may be flickering. To the centre of the zone, flickering is more prevalent, up to completely disappearing. The flickering has a periodic pattern, which seems to be affected by the windows displaying in the second (external) monitor !! B - external monitor. Some applications show really slow there. Worse case is HipChat (Atlassian chat program), which shows fine as long as even a tiny fraction exists on the primary display. At the moment the whole window passes to the secondary, then even the scroll bar has a delay of a second a move. To check, I have played with the ~/.config/monitors.xml without success. It seems that each configuration is saved there, even duplicates, after adding the same external monitor and re-configuring it (absolute duplicate in monitors.xml) C. Side-effects and related phenomena. Some times the "Screen display" control freaks, when enabling the external monitor. It may freeze or insist to put them in mirroring. Most of the times it just forgets a setup (although in monitors.xml) after adding a different external monitor. For each workspace, there is a different background, done with Unit5y Tweak Tool. All updates have been done, without effect.
