[lubuntu-users] Fwd: [lubuntu-devel] Missing Intel graphic drivers on 16.04

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Aere,

So it is Intel graphics.

Have you tried text mode? Tried to 'dumb down' the graphics as much as 
possible during boot? Can you get to a text screen somehow? And in text 
screen mode you can tweak it.

- There are a few ideas to test
. xserver-xorg-video-inte
. UXA acceleration
. various boot options, start with nomodeset

But if still no luck, I guess that machine (or at least that graphics 
chip) has passed 'end of life'.

Best regards
Nio
