Hi Neil,

            

          
Neil could you maybe bless us with some basic information. You know like perhaps
what graphics card and driver combination you are currently using and what
version of MX Linux you have just installed. Anything that might make this more
like technical support and less like divination!


I have found ... Intel CoffeeLake -S GT2

Driver .. i915

Is that helpful?

MX Linux v 21 ahs version.

I get lost with all this weird information,

Neil

This seems to have gone off topic. I would like to know, please, if anyone can
help me with this, now that I have included the above information.

My text editors seem to work OK. It is the browsers and email where I am getting a
problem. I have had that computers for over six years and it has never had this
problem before.

Perhaps examples would help. When I queried the graphics card and driver, I meant
something like this:

Nvidia GeForce Ti 1050TX [Albeit on a laptop it may use onboard graphics]

430.*** [or maybe the default driver if it's a new installation].

Alternatively if possible a screenshot of your system setup.

I think we're probably looking at text tool output eg. in a console/shell:

- uname -a
- lspci -kv
- xrandr (also if installed)
- glxgears (if installed)

erm .. those are some semi-random starting points ..


Or these days, its quite convenient to use tmate (tmate.io) and get a remote session going .. (if desirable)
