Christopher: I am glad to receive this; I thought my issue was dead because of my inability to perform the requested bisections. I have switched to Mint 17.3 MATE because it still uses the 3.19 kernel and is supported until 2019. If I understand you correctly, your advice is that is that I try kernel 4.8-rc3. Could I do that on Mint, or would I have to download Ubuntu MATE again, install it, and then try to read through my blurry display to install the newest kernel? Also, is there reason the believe my issue with i915 sandybridge graphics might have been corrected? Please advise.
