Hello Sameul,

I see you reposted including added info on your system which is really not necessary but I see no feedback on the suggestions I gave you especially trying xfix from recovery mode and the suggestions from:

/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/README.gz

I, for one and I expect the list in general, would like to know if you indeed tried those out and the results of the trials. You are more likely to get follow up help from the experts if they know you tried the suggestions and reported the results. FWIW.
