Comment 130 for bug 1554613

I want to share my experience: I have a Dell XPS 13 9350 QHD SSD: 512GB RAM: 16GB. Bios 1.3.3.
I installed plain Ubuntu 16.04 erasing all Windows partitions. I did not apply any workaround (I read about this bug).
I do NOT experience this bug.

In the meantime I stambled upon these link, according to which TLP causes screen flickers:

I don't know if it is the same problem, but you may try to disable/remove TLP.
