Hi, I just upgraded my Lenovo Ideapad Z510 from 16.04 to 16.10 and have the same problem. Would be good to get this fixed as it is really annoying.

At present, I am using Ubuntu 16.04. I made bootable USB sticks using images of Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 and tried to install both of them. However, during boot up, the screen flickers when the mouse is not moving. This screen flickering does not happen when I boot Ubuntu/Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on USB stick.
