Sorry I should have explained better, I also have a Lenovo Edge E540 which is how I initially found this bug report via Google, but mine does not have the nvidia chipset, only Intel, so I didn't see how this could be caused by the nvidia driver. I will try to test the newer upstream kernel when I

Same issue, although I only have Intel graphics. Adding i915.enable_psr=0 to the kernel parameter line fixed the flickering for me. This is apparently solved upstream in kernel 4.9: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9507451/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
