After update and rebooting the system, I gave a heavy flickering of screen elements. Mouse cursor is painting traces and in general kinds of graphics elements show bad repaints with flickering around like crazy. The Desktop is almost unusable now. Thus, I activate the Pontostroy repo and upgraded all packages from there. Now it works again without flickering. Hardware: Tuxedo Infinity Book v2 with i7 Skylake. True for kernel 4.5.3 from TW repo and 4.6 rc7 from kernel:head
