Bug#738865: Ubuntu does install successfully on the ProBook 450 G1

[jeff stern]

One more tidbit of info: The installer for Ubuntu (back on 16.04) worked
fine (which is what this laptop has installed, though it has by now been
upgraded to 17.04).

But I would prefer to re-install with Debian.

Bug#738865: capabilities of VGA controller

[jeff stern]

Sorry to keep posting. One more tidbit, if it helps:

I didn't realize that running the lspci w/o sudo would lock out reporting
on the capabilities of the VGA controller (where it says ""
in previous post). Here they are, from sudo:

Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
