Seems Xenial will be released with Kernel v4.4 [ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Newsletter/2015-12-15 ].
And older Ubuntu releases will use v4.2 (which is not affected by this bug).
Maybe it is useless to track this v4.3 issue (specially if no one else encounters it).

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.
