On second thought, I suspect you need me to do what you ask from a current release (one I am having trouble with). Therefore, I'm downloading the torrent for MATE 16.04 64-bit, and will install it and suffer through the blurry screen long enough to do what you ask. Give me a couple hours, please. I appreciate the interest in my problem.

I'll need to reinstall 14.04.4, as that is the only one I have that works. All of the 16.04 flavors run with unreadable displays. Let me know if that will be useful for you, and I'll do it today.

Installed Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit lts, and successively xubuntu 16.04, ubuntuMATE 16.04, and lubuntu 16.04. Each installed, but with blurred images. Could not get native 1920x1080 resolution to display. Would like to use one of these, but am relegated to Debian or Debian derivatives using older kernels and packages that support the driver. Sandy Bridge integrated graphics with my i5 cpu were manufactured in 2011 -- in my opinion not too old to still work or at least be supported somehow. A patch or updated driver would be great. There were a bunch of these Asus cm6850 machines made.
