Thanks guys, the output of grep -B4 'Module class: X.Org Video Driver' ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log is [ 58.352] (II) LoadModule: "intel" [ 58.353] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so [ 58.380] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 58.380] compiled for 1.19.0, module version = 2.99.917 [ 58.380] Module class: X.Org Video Driver So that makes it clear, the intel driver is bein used, is there anything else I can do to improve my graphics. Is it possible that installing Mate caused trouble of some sort. I tell you the truth, my solution to many problems has been to simply reinstall the system. I believe my system is not correctly configured in some way, for example, composing this email in Evolution in the little composer window, if I want to delete several words of text and press and hold my backspace key, it goes back at a certain speed, so I have to wait to see how back I will be taken with the time I have held pressed the backspace key. Performance is just not good in general, and I believe this laptop should certainly be able to handle Gnome, and guessing I would have issues with any other DE. I appreciate any help. For now, my plan, when I have time, is to reinstall Debian Stretch, dont touch anything and configure to load intel driver, and hope that any issues have been resolved. thanks,
