Comin Roman's "solution" works for me too. I did the same except
without
Option "monitor-TMDS" "dvi"
which wasn't reported by xrandr for me.
I also have tonnes of those two lines, along with a few:
(EE) intel(0): tried to update DSPARB with both planes enabled!
VLC starts up a little ``clunky'', but seems to work once it gets going.
I have blue stripes around the windows that cover the video, but there is no
flicker and my X does not crash.
In VLC I switch Tools -> Preferences. Show Settings All. Video ->
Output modules -> XVideo -> XVideo adaptor number change from "-1" to
"1" (which was suggesting in another thread) the blue bars around
windows covering the video go away.
Obviously Cosmin's "solution" isn't a real fix, but it helps.
