On my new desktop machine I'm having dual monitor setup. Sometimes one
of monitors gets black for a second and then shows image again - this is
especially visible on logon screen. Also, when running an OpenGL
application, if it starts on one specific monitor, the whole screen
flickers quite badly with random rectangles starting at mouse cursor
position. If same app starts on another monitor, no flashing occurs.
Vulkan demo apps also don't exhibit flashing.

OS: Ubuntu 16.10 64-bit
Kernel: 4.8.0-26-generic
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K
GPU: HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2)

I always edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf as:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "TearFree"    "true"
   Option      "DRI"    "3"
EndSection

By the way, when tried installing Xenial, it wouldn't even work with
dual monitor setup, when adding above settings (works perfectly fine on
Haswell desktop).
