Comment 36 for bug 1523088

I believe I am experiencing this issue also. Dell Optiplex 7040 with Intel I7-6700 (skylake) with integrated graphics (Intel HD 530) running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.

Two monitors are connected via displayport cables. Issue also occurred when using displayport to DVI adapters.

The following is logged to /var/log/syslog every time I move the mouse cursor between screens. Occasionally when I move the mouse cursor to the other screen, the screen will blank and then a few seconds later come back on. Windows are not re-arranged (implying it is not the disappearance of a screen), and similar log entries are produced. No other rendering issues or graphics issues have been noted - Unity works fine. Running tuxracer does not cause any issues.

If there is any additional information I can provide that would be helpful please let me know.
