to differentiate from the bug #91393 I'm creating a new one. It because I have different symptoms and end solutions offered there do not help.

Here is a video to demonstrate the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZIR4qnfOH8

With the stock ubuntu 15.10 kernel version 4.2 this problem persists and there's no way to get rid of it. With the current drm-intel-nightly kernel:
$ uname -a
Linux chrome 4.4.0-994-generic #201601112101 SMP Tue Jan 12 02:02:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
the problem occurs only after a new boot. Then I need (almost blindly) login into my system and start 'xset dpms force off' command once or several times and then the flickering is gone even after I resume from the sleep.

$ sudo lshw -c video

We seem to have neglected this bug completely. Apologies. Is this still an issue with latest kernels?
Comment 4 flux242 2016-06-18 08:52:02 UTC
oh, you mean that the bug could simply disappear with a newer kernel version, huh? So, what newer kernel version do you mean exactly?

No promises, but please try v4.6 or v4.7-rc4.
