Hi, I've tried this already, but tried again. It did not work. The results seem exactly the same as the attempt I made in my previous email with trying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf. Please see previous post, the same thing happened after reboot. The same log output but the line numbers grep are different i think: user1@user1-pchut:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i uxa [ 19.680] (**) intel(0): Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" [ 20.033] (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations: user1@user1-pchut:~$ I get the impression that maybe X config begins but when doing things with a config in /etc/X11 it causes some steps that need to be taken to be skipped or missed during boot. I say this because X is there but it is not working 100% OK. maybe a fix is to some additional things after a boot? Are all my services for X working like lightdm, could that be it? How to check? What additional info can I give? These fixes suggested are documented to fix and I've tried them but for some reason it's not working.
