            Bug ID: 97918
           Summary: Severe graphics regression, rainbow glitching and
                    flickering on Intel Broadwell 5500U integrated
                    graphics
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/intel
          Assignee: chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
          Reporter: nicholas.stommel at gmail.com
        QA Contact: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I would like to report a severe graphics regression, involving frequent
rainbow-glitching and flickering on a x64 computer with Intel Broadwell 5500U
processor w/ integrated graphics. This issue was not present on kernel v4.7.4,
which I will continue to use. Due to unfortunate issues with Broadwell
integrated graphics support, virtually every kernel build in the 4.8 release
chain as well as the newest v4.7.5 kernel have this issue. Dramatic
multicolored patches and glitched areas appear frequently when using my
computer with these kernels installed. The behavior is very similar to that of
the Broadwell graphics issues present in kernel version 4.6.x. Please fix this
issue, I don't understand why NEWER kernels are actually causing significant
graphical problems with older hardware.
