I have to reset my graphics using the nVidia tool on each reboot - my hardware is a bit weird and xorg.conf confuses it.On 23/11/2017 12:05, Neil wrote:I have a desktop, a laptop and a mini laptop. They all run Linux Lite 3.6. My wife also has a laptop which also runs Lite. Recently she has had a bit of trouble with the screen, where sometimes the letters and the icons are not shown properly, and they are difficult or even impossible to read. The other three machines do not have this problem. I have found that the only way to clear it is to shut down the machine and to restart. Sometimes I can manage that by guessing where the relevant icons are situated. Sometimes I have to do a hard shut down by holding down the power button until it turns off. This does not happen all the time, just occasionally. Often it occurs after an update, but not always. I am not a hardware sort of guy, but I am wondering if this is a sign that the screen is failing. The machine is not so old, got it from pcspecialist in June 2013. So I am asking for ideas and helpful suggestions please, thanks, NeilIf it happens after an update, is the screen resolution being reset to the wrong figure. I have an old laptop that has screen resolution 1440x900 and I have to reset screen resolution when using a Live Linux as they do not find that resolution. The hard disc is Ok on OpenSUSE as it keeps the 1440x900 after an update.
I reboot probably once a month so it's no hardship but it does bug me... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
