I'm using the kernel from Kernel:Stable (actually with two small AppArmor
patches on top) so I already got kernel 4.6 instead of the 4.5.4 kernel in
Tumbleweed.

I'm using a laptop with intel graphics and two screens (laptop display +
external screen via HDMI).

Kernel 4.6 causes the laptop screen to blink / flicker as soon as X starts
(both login manager and in KDE) which makes the laptop display unusable and
hurts in the eyes.

I can "fix" this by booting 4.5.4, so this is clearly a regression in 4.6.


I'll happily provide logs etc. - just tell me what you need ;-)
