Hi. thanks, I have followed those instructions completely now and the situation improved notably, scrolling my Inbox and in LibreOffice is better. I also noticed that right after logging in, previously the screen would show the black terminal screen (again) while loading the desktop, now I see a prettier gray Gnome background at that time. I have also uninstalled Mate (uninstalled all packages with "mate" string in them), it seemed to make things (graphics) worst, and also choosing an item from Places in the top bar in Gnome Classic would open Caja instead of Files, it also made the Applications menu notably slower. Should I take any other steps at completely removing Mate?? I dont know if my graphics are perfect now, but at least I can work nicely in my PC now. Isnt using the Intel driver usually a better option than using another?? I really need to learn about this (modeset) things to be able to figure out what driver I am using. thanks a lot,

Subsequently OP reported Gnome to be working, but also that unsatisfactory AV playback in Totem remains, even in Mate, plus he sees poor scrolling behavior in LibreOffice. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
