Hi Aere,

This is too bad. I suspect that a bad version of the graphics driver 
came with an updated kernel. It might work better, if you [re-install 
and] use an older version of the linux kernel.

Please tell us about the graphics chip/card, and which graphics driver, 
that is used now!

Best regards
Nio
