Description of problem: My Lenovo Thinkpad T440 is docked over a Docking station and a secondary monitor is attached connected over a DisplayPort. The Secondary monitor continously flickers (as in disabled/enabled) when booted over the 4.6.5 kernel including the latest Fedora24 kernel available via regular update. But the same environment works without any issue if booted in to 4.5.5-300.fc24.x86_64. The application windows do not lose position even when the display goes off and comes again. The Fedora is fully updated and So is the BIOS, I have even managed to update the Docking Station firmware from https://support.lenovo.com/it/en/documents/ht081248 but still the problem continues. Adding the kernel options " intel_pstate=no_hwp i915.enable_rc6=0 " is also seen to help but power management goes for a toss. The problem is not associated to any suspend/hibernate or undocking triggers. I have followed the instructions from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems and am attaching the collected information to this bug. My external Monitor is Dell 24" P2414H Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1) xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-24.20160712.fc24.x86_64 2) Kernel-4.6.6-300.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Dock 2.Boot to the affected kernels and just wait for 2 mins or so 3. Actual results: Flickering Expected results: Not Flicker Additional info: Using KDE but behaviour happens with other environments too

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Hi, I am closing this bug. This was combination of tuned powersave profile and kernel 4.6. Not reproducible now on newer tuned and kernels.
