Re: [Bug 1556362] Re: Graphic display problem

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Hi Christopher,
I tried version 16.04 after following the link below and installing xenial-desktop-i386.iso on a memory stick.  The first try, it didn't recognize my screen so I re-installed it and tried again.  It worked fine, but Firefox seemed to have a few bugs as it would not load a script and so I ended up re-starting it because I couldn't get it to respond.  Then it worked fine until it went to black and  white.  The B&W mode almost seemed like a power saving feature and the screen would go back to colour once in a while.  As I am writing this, I am back to v15.1.
I don't know how you would like this written up or what information you would like.  I can live with the occasional wonky screen if need be as it seems to self-correct if I switch to another application and then back.  Still, something funny is going on.  Perhaps it is a problem with my PC. - I used a toshiba system check tool and it seemed to indicate everything was okay.
Please let me know if you want me to pursue this further.
Thanks,
Jonathan

  I would like to report a problem with my video driver.  While using
