Bug 187251

Screen flicker so much that its hard to watch.

Looks like intel buffers do not set correctly and flickers between old and new image.

OS: Arch linux
Problem exists for at least 3 months now.
Hardware: MSI GE72 2QC Apache
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5600 (rev 0a)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 960M] (rev a2)
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge - DMI (rev 0a)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 0a)


Running on intel drivers, on nvidia efect is the same because it's a hybrid so intel still handle final render.

You see that mostly on non-black parts.

My first guess was that it is backlight pwm problem, i did try that, but then i saw some strange "ghosts" on screen, for example when image change, you still see flickering old image:

And it is horrible:

And the flicker speed and intensity change depending on laptop load.
