I'm running Kodi on Ubuntu 17.10 and I have the strangest problem. Everything works perfectly - video is right, audio, everything. However, whenever a video overlay comes up including the info screen in video player or subtitles, the overlay part blinks (tears?) like crazy.
This started only after the upgrade from Ubuntu 17.04 - 17.10 but nothing else changed. I've tried multiple versions of Kodi and it happens on all of them. Any ideas what to check?
I'm using the Ubuntu repository: ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
kodi 2:17.5+git2017102 all
kodi-bin 2:17.5+git2017102 amd64
And from the log:

Also, and hopefully not related, what's up with the dates on kodi-bin?

I just uninstall and reinstalled and this is what gets put back:
