Public bug reported:
1. Original bug was where the graphics would normally work but every so
often the screen would be corrupted with horizontal lines of junk.
After much research I found a primitive fix for that:-
* edit /etc/default/grub to add nomodeset to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
* sudo update-grub
* reboot
2. Now the system will only allow VGA 640x480 graphics
This is occurring on an Intel 829845G/GZ chipset
