Comment # 18 on bug 78562 from Stuart Hopkins

Can confirm this patch does remove the flicker on my Sony Vaio VPC1P (tested
against the latest 4.x kernel from the Ubuntu 17.04 tree). If required I can
post the xrandr output from before/after as well.

On my device xrandr now shows the screen as being at 1600x768@59.90 rather than
1600x768@29.97
