Public bug reported:
I would like to report a severe graphics regression, involving frequent
rainbow-glitching and flickering on a x64 computer with Intel Broadwell
5500U processor w/ integrated graphics. This issue was not present on
kernel v4.7.4, which I will continue to use. Due to unfortunate issues
with Broadwell integrated graphics support, virtually every kernel build
in the 4.8 release chain as well as the newest v4.7.5 kernel have this
issue. Dramatic multicolored patches and glitched areas appear
frequently when using my computer with these kernels installed. The
behavior is very similar to that of the Broadwell graphics issues
present in kernel version 4.6.x. Please fix this issue, I don't
understand why NEWER kernels are actually causing significant graphical
problems with older hardware.
