I'd like to perform a bisect to identify the commit that introduced this
regression.  To narrow the bisect window, can you test the 4.4.0-1.15
kernel first?  It can be downloaded from:

Title:
  Intermittent screen blinking with 4k external mini display port with
  4.4 kernels

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When using an external 4K monitor plugged into the mini display port on my Dell XPS 13 9343 using both the laptop screen and the external monitor (external monitor is left and laptop screen right), when using all of the following kernels:
  4.4.0-2.16-generic
  4.4.0-4.19-generic
  4.4.0-6.21-generic
  4.4.0-7.22-generic

  the external monitor will sometimes blink off for about a second or
  two, then back on. What is weird is this seems to only happen when
  typing into a gnome-terminal as opposed to firefox or evolution.
  Simply changing to a gnome-terminal and typing into it doesn't cause
  the blinking, but it might happen immediately or it might take several
  minutes.

  4.3.0-7.18-generic worked fine and I can go hours and hours in a
  gnome-terminal with no issues.
