Public bug reported: On my laptop, Dell m3800, the default resolution 3200x1800 makes everything unreadable, so I need to keep the resolution lower, i.e., 1920x1080. Everything worked fine in Kubuntu 15.04. After the upgrade to Kubuntu 15.10, if I turn the resolution to 1920x1080 (or any lower resolution than the default one), the screen starts to flickering often (with the default resolution 3200x1800 this does not happen).
I tried to turn off compositing, using Xrender, etc. nothing seems to work.
