Hello guys,
Running xorg on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (MY2013) on recent kernels turn into a major PITA. After a couple of minutes the screen starts to flicker and only killing xorg or reboot fixes the problem. This is what i typically see in dmesg:

This is going on for all v4.6 kernel releases as well as v4.7-rcX. Older, v4.4 and v4.5, kernels are running fine. I'm using Debian testing updated to 2016-06-13.
I'd be happy to help with testing so please let me know if there's anything i can do for you.
It seems that James (Bottomley) has similar problem and it was suggested to him to try drm-intel-nightly. Which i did, but it didn't help much. Admittedly, the flicker issue showed up after about an hour instead of a couple of minutes.
The 'dmesg' output seems very much like what i posted above.
cheers, Petko
