Hello guys, does this only affect Unbuntu 16.04? I have seen my Ubuntu 14.04 Chromium having the same issue shown in the same video that Vasya Pupkin (the user of the original post) posted.
I just happened to have my Chromium flickering whenever I'm watching YouTube videos or sometimes even pdf (rarely), and I have intel HD graphic as well with no additional graphic cards. I tried to follow the above solution and edit the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf/20-intel.conf but the file doesn't exist. I also tried to disabled the "Override software rendering list" option in chrome://flags but it doesn't work either. Sorry if I made this confusing, I'm a newbie to Ubuntu and hopefully could find a solution for this problem.
