That largely addresses my request from #5, and gives me additional, helpful information regarding a regression. Given the issue is addressed in 16.10, and folks who use 16.04 may utilize the 16.10+ kernel/xorg stack from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack, this is considered Fix Released as defined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status. Also, while I understand your passion towards this issue given your friend, they way you are expressing it comes across as abrasive, and not welcoming to folks who take an interest in the problem. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Google chrome intermittently flickers (sometimes even Firefox I found, but very very rarely), and can cause a seizure in some people as it can flash between black and white 60 times a second.
