I would boot from an installation USB / CD (preferably the one you set
the
machine up from) and go into Rescue Mode, and see whether the hardware
still
continues behaving the same way.
I just did that on the latest Devuan Beowulf Live distro (kernel
4.19.0-14), and... no flickering!
I would boot from an installation USB / CD (preferably the one you set the
machine up from) and go into Rescue Mode, and see whether the hardware still
continues behaving the same way.
That means you're testing it with the versions of kernel / modules / boot

Something I guess is important that I forgot to add:
The flicker started happening after the screen went black during a
session lock phase (screensaver was running on the other screen).
I had to reboot to make the laptop's screen come back, only to have it
flicker.

Recently the screen of a Dell Latitude 7400 laptop I have (which is
running Devuan) started flickering.
I tried to deactivate/reactivate it (got a second monitor), unplug it to
let it run w/o charger, change the display's frequency... you name it.
I also tried to reboot on the previous
