Title:
  Several laptops unstable with 15.10 kernels

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading my two laptops (HP EliteBook 8470p, Sony Vaio, both
  several years old) to 15.10 both started freezing within 12 hours of
  booting and the screens started flickering when X did fade-out and
  fade-ins.

  Booting the HP with the 15.04 kernel (3.19.0-31) makes it stable
  again. The sony vaoi was downgraded to 14.04 and is stable there.
