I have a dual monitor setup at work and when moving the cursor from one monitor to the other the screen blinks and sometimes gets completely black.

I've recorded a video to better show the problem:

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 (clean install). This wasn't happening in 15.10.

Seems like this bug happened again in Ubuntu 16.10 (4.8.0-26 kernel). – Max L Nov 1 '16 at 14:13
    
Got clean Ubuntu 16.04 (4.10.0-32-generic), happens as well. – NeverEndingQueue Aug 12 '17 at 12:22

Hello i had the same problem but solved it by installing latest upstream kernel from here. At this link you can find installing instruction. Right now i use 4.6.0rc4 and it works well.

I have the same issue. I was wondering if you just grabbed the latest kernel or if you picked based on the ubuntu version notation. ie did you pick a xenial version or just the latest? – Sparx May 23 '16 at 20:02
    
just latest version – it.is.raining May 31 '16 at 10:47
