Comment 0 for bug 1565234

I am using the Dell XPS 13 9350 with Ubuntu 16.04, and I am experiencing random screen flickering where the screen will flicker to black for a split second. This happens repeatedly every few seconds for half a minute or so. Then the issue will disappear for a few minutes, but randomly come back.

I have experienced using Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity, Gnome, and XFCE. I am running the latest BIOS version 1.3.3.
