Testing suggesting it's not very application-dependent:

1.  With Libre started and 'flickering' occurring, kill -9 it and make
sure it's dead; flickering persists while using Firefox.

2.  From that state, conduct 'change mode and revert' workaround:
flickering stops and does not recur after restarting Libre (prior to
letting display sleep happen at least).


[Also noting I am likely to give up on this and drop a Radeon 6450 card in as 
throwing different hardware at the problem is going to be cheaper than the 
time-cost.  Still interested in seeing it resolved to the extent that it's 
regressive and also always farcical when the hardware requirements for word 
processing outside of vi arbitrarily go up.]
