Hi, we recently got our new E7450 Notebooks from Dell and encountered the same Problems. Main Problem - Displays flickering or turn to black at all. We use 3 Displays 2x externeal via DP / HDMI 1920x1080 + E7450 build in with 1920x1080.
OS is Ubuntu 14.04LTS with Kernel 4.2.0-30-generic. I also tested few hours ago the latest Kernel 4.5.0-040500rc7-generic but after a few minutes one Display started to flicker again. The dmesg messag "[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!" occurs in 4.2 but not in 4.5. There is another dmesg message in 4.5 that seems to be related to the i915 driver: [Di Mär 8 17:51:44 2016] pci_bus 0000:02: Allocating resources [Di Mär 8 17:51:44 2016] pci_bus 0000:03: Allocating resources [Di Mär 8 17:51:44 2016] i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment [Di Mär 8 17:51:44 2016] i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment . . .
