This is just a notice for those who may care.
I installed Fedora 23 on a Dell Inspiron 17 laptop. If I use the latest
kernel, 4.6.6-200, the screen flickers incessantly except when the
touchpad is used to move the cursor. If I use a slightly older kernel,
4.5.7-202, everything works fine.
On a similar note, I bought an Inspiron 11 3162. I couldn't get any
supported version of Fedora to run on it. Ended up having to go with
Ubuntu 14.04 as that was the most recent supported major distro I could
get to work. As soon as KMS started, the screen would go black and the
system would hang. Shame, as I'd thought intel chipsets were generally
well behaved with Linux. It would run in VESA mode but it was so dog
slow, I couldn't use for playing anything I bought it for.
