I am not trying out testing versions, I'm sorry, but you guys have wasted a lot of our time, you and the Xorg team. It's a joke really. You added the tag "bios-outdated" there's nothing outdated about my BIOS so I don't know where you think that's an appropriate tag.
I'm sorry but testing zesty on a production computer is not an acceptable thing to do, if non of your devs have an i7 Haswell or higher with this issue, you simply aren't trying hard enough to find it. I already explained what the fix is, and if Zesty doesn't have it, I'm not wasting time. These machines for work are to stay on LTS, so it is your duty to fix it. Can't claim to have long-term-support, if your support is literally like this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete 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.
