I am experiencing this issue as well on 16.10 on my X1 Carbon 3rd gen
(Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz / HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)).
Tried mainline kernels 4.9.9, 4.9.10, and 4.10.0-997-drm-intel-next, and
reproduced the issue on all. Also tried pinning libdrm2/linux-firmware
/xserver-xorg-* to zesty versions, as well as installing intel-
microcode, which made no difference. Xorg is running the modesetting
driver.

Title:
Black flicker when leaving monitor
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Sometimes, when moving cursor from one monitor to the other, the
external monitor turns black and gets back on again.
The hardware is Dell Latitude E5470 with Docking Station and monitor
connected via DisplayPort (checked both ports and happens on both of
them).
Everything worked correctly on Ubuntu 16.04, but it happens on Ubuntu
16.10. Kernel 4.8.0-25-generic.
The bug isn't related to cursor only, if focus changes by alt+tab it
sometimes happens as well.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1553503 This is the same
bug as this one, but closed.
