Comment 9 for bug 1712508

I'm suffering from the same problem. I'm also the author of the referenced question on askubuntu, https://askubuntu.com/questions/927407/flickering-screen-with-intel-graphics-on-ubuntu-17-04 which I update periodically when I've tried new things.

The problem persists with Ubuntu 17.10's kernel 4.13.0-16.
