<div dir="ltr">Hi, My new MSI PE60 2QE laptop mounts an Intel i7-5700HQ, which carries the Integrated Graphics Chipset 5600, and a Samsung 156HL01-102 panel.The display works perfectly when I boot with the "nomodeset" parameter in the kernel command line -- but then I'm forced to use the framebuffer driver, which doesn't allow multiple monitors. With KMS enabled (by removing the "nomodeset" parameter), X starts correctly with the "intel" driver and I can use multiple monitors, but the laptop's panel shows an irregular flicker, ranging from occasional flickering horizontal black lines (which are really annoying) to a constant flashing & flickering making the display all but unusable. The flickering and flashing is less noticeable, but still there, in the text-mode VTs, even if I never start X. So the problem has to be in the kernel or modules, not in the X drivers. External monitors connected to the DP or HDMI ports don't show any flickering. Things I have tried (among many others I've discovered were irrelevant): <ul><li>Setting a number different video modes using xrandr </li><li>Booting with Kernel 3.19.0.25 with i915.enable_IPS=0 as suggested here: <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/680703/screen-flickering-on-ubuntu-gnome-14-04-4k-resolution">Screen flickering on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 - 4K resolution</a></li><li>Booting with i915.powersave=0</li><li>Booting with acpi_osi=Linux</li><li>Upgrading to Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (kernel 3.19.0 with a backported i915 module)</li><li>Upgrading to Ubuntu Willy Werewolf (kernel 4.2.0)</li></ul>None of these have helped.I'm attaching kern.log for a full boot sequence with drm.debug=0xf. What steps can you recommend to try to diagnose and solve this problem?Thanks a lot for your help, Jordi </div>
