I have a screen flickering since my first Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS installation and tried everything mentioned in this post: Flickering screen with Intel graphics on Ubuntu 17.04
and setting it to nomodeset helps. My problem is that if i set it to nomodeset my second screen, connected via HDMI isn't recognized.



If i don't set nomodeset, HDMI is recognized and it does not flicker on the HDMI screen, just on my laptop screen.



I would love to use both screens!



this is my lshw -C video

Your video adapter is probably poorly supported by the old 4.4 kernel.



You can upgrade the kernel in Ubuntu 16.04 to a newer major version by running



sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04
