["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aapo Rantalainen, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from
kernel 4.3 to 4.4-rc8 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed
immediately by the first good one. Once this commit has been identified,
then it may be reviewed as a candidate for backporting into your
release. Could you please do this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F
?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

After the fix commit (not kernel version) has been identified, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  i915. graphics messed, only slide of the screen working

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Computer: EEEpc 701
  VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)
  Native resolution 800x480
  linux-image-4.3.0-2-generic=4.3.0-2.11

  Upgraded to the Xenial.

  Happens every time when using  Linux 4.3.0-2. As soon as X starts over
  half of the screen is messed (left side of the screen). Switching to
  the virtual terminal doesn't help, same area is messed in text mode.

  Couple of workarounds:
  *Booting Linux 4.2.0-22-generic
  *Connecting external (VGA) monitor. Now both (internal+external) are working. External can be disconnected then.
  *From grub boot to recovery (kernel 4.3.0-2), then resume. Now screen is working, but resolution is 640x480.
