Description:
I have a Dell XPS 9550 with a Skylake processor. With the latest version of the driver and Xfce, my screen always flickers randomly, no matter what I do. I'm running Linux 4.5 but I think the problem existed with 4.4.5 as well. Additional info: * Version: 1:2.99.917+587 * Xfce Version: 4.12.3-1 Steps to reproduce: - Upgrade to the latest version. - Start Xfce. Fixes: - Downgrade to xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+579+g74cd4d0. |

Problem exists with an unmodified xorg.conf as well with: Option
"DRI" "3"
Update: seems like I didn't test enough. The problem came back as
soon as I started a full-screen video in VLC.
Please check with latest git commits and if still broken please
report the regression upstream.
Seems that the problem is actually with the kernel (4.5) and not
this package. Source:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1615802#p1615802. The 'fix' doesn't work for me but downgrading to 4.4.5 fixed
the issue. Sorry for the confusion.
Same here, for me it flickers only with multiple monitors, when i
cross mouse from one to another. see
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1618552
For me it seems to be resolved after upgrading to latest arch...
Problem still not resolved with 4.5.1.
Can confirm screen flicker this past week since upgrading
xf86-intel. I'm using GNOME and latest 4.6.4-1 kernel.
Ishbir, are you still seeing this? there's a request to close the
ticket saying it's fixed.
I don't see any flickering anymore. I was the one who requested
that the issue be closed.
I am still experiencing the problem. How can I fix this? I can't
downgrade to xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+579+g74cd4d0 because I
can't find the tar for it.
