ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a laptop. lspci output (snipped to graphics cards):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics
520] (rev 07)
01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT
[Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330 / M430 / Radeon 520 Mobile] (rev 83)
According to glxinfo, the GPU in use is "Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 (SKL
GT2) (0x1916)". The AMD GPU might not be active, I don't know.
On this same machine, after opening several programs, I get an issue where
Firefox turns black, and/or windows become invisible/transparent and flicker
opaque when redrawn. I don't know if this issue is related.
