Yeah the problem seems to be getting worse in recent Ubuntu releases and is more obvious on more laptops. That's good for testing at least.

BIOS logo on a black background. 2. Display mode resets, no image on a black background briefly. 3. BIOS logo on a black background. The flicker occurs seemingly during kernel startup since my peripherals are lit up before the problem occurs. Suspecting this might be related to FB handover: [ 2.751028] fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA I tried disabling that with a big hammer: i915.modeset=0 so it stays in efifb, and that works -- no more flickering, providing I don't let i915 take over the framebuffer.
