I just did a fresh install of the latest Kali Linux 2.0 from their website. I am not using a VM this is a install as the main OS. I am running a HP G60-121WM Laptop with the Nvidia 6200 Graphics Card. Whenever I move my mouse the screen flickers. I think this has something to do with the drivers but if someone could point me in the right direction of ideas what it could be that would be great.

Thank you!

ok for every one have that problem i found a solution after 1 month of searching, well your nvidia card is old (like mine) so you need to install the kernel that belong to that vers.

here there is a list that you can see which version you need, dont forget to disable nouveau after the installation with :
sed 's/quiet / quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i etc.
