[Bug 1748669] [NEW] New kernel update cause seriouse video problems.

[Várkuli Miklós Gábor]

Public bug reported:

Test machine:

Asus   Eee PC 1000H
CPU:   Intel Atom N270 1,6 GHz
Video: Intel GMA950

no proprietary drivers in use

Last stable kernel without the error: 4.4.0-112  
System: current Xubuntu 16.04 LTS    previously Lubuntu 16.4 LTS 

After this kernel was updated 4/5 of the desktop disappear or filled
with random pixels and only a small portion is rendered normally. This
problem is not occuring when switching back to the older kerrnel
mentioned above. I tried this with fresh install and with old install
upgraded. Results were the same. I can't provide data from the faulty
state since I can't see enough from the desktop to send or even start a
report. The current bug report is from the properly working, stable
system .

Lubuntu, debian and xubuntu is making the same error after kernel
update. We have 2 stronger notebook an asus and a fujitsu siemens
business class. They both using proprietary drivers: Nvidia and Intel
microcode and the error doesn't occured there. I didn't tried to switch
back to free drivers. They both use lubuntu 16.04 LTS with newest kernel
and drivers.

Thanks for your help and the great operating system you all created.
Sincerely. Miklós Várkuli.
