Comment 13 for bug 1655828

Success (sort of)! I pulled up the evdi source, commented out the references to dirty_info_property from evdi_connector.c, and the reference to drm_mode_create_dirty_info_property in evdi_modeset.c. I compiled the whole driver manually, and I was able to install it successfully in 17.04.

I can still see the flickering, though it does seem slightly less pronounced than usual. I haven't used it very heavily, but I can definitely see the flickering.
