The 2nd monitor is a fairly old IIyama Vision Master Pro 452. It always used to be a bit funny with the old nv driver, although I have to say, the Nvidia proprietary driver never gave a problem with this old monitor. On the other hand, using xrandr is much more configurable and sensible than Nvidia's silly "twinview" setup. ;-) Removing the Nvidia proprietary driver has left my system completely free of non-free and contrib packages! > Try booting with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 kernel parameter. That does it! Well done: No more flicker! In case any readers are not familiar with grub2 I edited: /etc/default/grub thus: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet drm_kms_helper.poll=0" and ran (as root) update-grub2 then rebooted.
