Christopher: I have surveyed the pages you reference about how to perform bisects, and determined 1) that I cannot invest the time required and 2) I do not possess the technical ability required. My shortcomings are exacerbated by the fact that to perform the series of tests needed I must have the regressed Ubuntu distro with the impaired display running on my machine, an impracticality at this time in light of my ongoing need to have access to a working and reliable machine. I know there are ways around this, like having multiple partitions for testing distros, or using live or virtual environments for testing, but these are beyond my technical ability and time constraints at this time. I know this only hurts me, because eventually I will have to upgrade my hardware when the distros I'm now using are updated to newer kernels, but there is nothing I can do about that at this time. I suspect it is unlikely that someone else will fix this other than me, but as already stated do any more at this time. I cannot document it in the terms you require, but I am still fairly sure that all the 4.2.x series worked on my hardware, and none after. Thanks again for your interest.
