With the current HEAD Im getting screen flickering really bad to point where it looks like the screen is damaged and/or half plugged-in etc..

the bisect pointed to here:

commit 619efb105924d8cafa0c1dd9389e9ab506f5425d

doing a git revert 619efb10592
gets the screen working properly again.
I havent looked much through the code to see if I can fix this. for the time being I'll revert this on my machine with the current, until later on.

lspci -vv shows my card info(let me know if you need anymore)
