Google Chrome flickers on Cinnamon, but not on Xfce I am experiencing some flickering problems with Google Chrome (and Chromium, **but not on Firefox** ) on certain websites. The thing is that the flickering manifests only on Cinnamon desktop environment, and not on Xfce. Turning off hardware acceleration does not help: it turns the flickering into tearing. Notes: Cinnamon was installed after Xfce, the Chrome-flickering issue is the only problem I am facing with Cinnamon. Also, I am using Bumblebee to run programs on nVidia graphics card on-demand, but since everything works well on Xfce, I am guessing that it's a (Cinnamon/Chrome)-related problem. Here is the inxi -Fxz output on Xfce. I have observed that Cinnamon uses GTK3, whereas Xfce uses GTK2. Any suggestions on how I can approach this issue, to at least find the culprit?

It appears that this solves it: `sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel`
