Public bug reported:
X freezes momentarily. The screen flickers. The mouse and keyboard stop
responding. But it usually does return to normal. But this happens repeatedly,
rendering the laptop quite unusuable. The problem begins shortly after the
power adapter is unplugged from the laptop. It may or may not disappear after
being plugged back in. Sometimes, using nvidia-settings, if the refresh rate
for the monitor is fixed to 60Hz it helps. But not all the time.
Always, the refresh rate returns back to "Auto". Even after "Applying" and
saving configuration to xorg.conf
