RD, I clarified your Bug Description to focus on one problem (one issue per report), and correct the fact that the issue isn't your hardware isn't supported (it is) but you have a regression that is causing this problem.
With this in mind, could you please attach a picture or screenshot of the blurred images to this report? ** Tags added: latest-bios-1301 ** Description changed: - Have used Ubuntu or its flavors for 3 years with no issues on this machine. 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. - --- + Have used Ubuntu or its flavors for 3 years with no issues on this + machine.
