guillaume le louet, could you please test prior versions of the nvidia
driver as outlined in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia and advise to
the results?

** Description changed:

  With the nvidia proprietary drivers (ex. nvidia 352 from their site) it
  works good for the external screen I have, but now the integrated screen
- is vibrating. I think a better term could be used, see attached
- screenshot. As you can notice, lines are shifted to left/right on
- several positions of the screen. It makes the use of the screen very
- unpleasant. So I usually switch it off.
+ is vibrating as per the attached screenshot. As you can notice, lines
+ are shifted to left/right on several positions of the screen. It makes
+ the use of the screen very unpleasant. So I usually switch it off.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Use nouveau.
