and here's exact workaround steps I've posted as a response to this:
When system is booting and grub shows up, press "e"
Find line with "ro quiet splash" and add nomodeset so it says "ro
nomodeset quiet splash".
Press CTRL-X to continue booting
Then there are two workarounds:
1) if you need the new kernel 4.13, you can add "nomodeset" to your
kernel options permanently, but this will limit screen resolution to
800x600:
$ sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Then add "nomodeset" as below:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash"
$ sudo update-grub
2) if you don't mind running older kernel 4.10 and want full 1024x600
resolution, try this solution Set "older" kernel as default grub entry
to set up kernel 4.10 as default (framebuffer works fine in this
version, in 1024x600 and without having to use nomodeset)

Title:
Framebuffer modeset causes display corruption
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
After update from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 on my Acer Aspire One netbook
(model ZG5) I have a problem with framebuffer corrupting the notebook
internal display after modeset.
During system boot, when correct console screen resoltion is to be
set, roughly 80% of the screen on the left side gets corrupted (looks
like framebuffer is trying to put 1024px line in 800px, so it
overflows onto the next line, causing the screen to be unreadable).
This effect persists after gdm boots up, so only right 20% of the
screen is visible and the rest is still garbled.
I have so far found to workarounds for the issue:
- add nomodeset kernel option in grub at boot time (or add it as
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT)
- use 4.10 kernel from Ubuntu 17.04 that I still have installed
There are reports on stackexchange of the same problem happening for
other netbooks like Samsung NC10.
