I installed 'linux-generic-hwe-16.04', as suggested, but there's no change. Perhaps because the radeon.modeset=0 is still in my system - but I can't find where. My boot sequence no longer shows radeon.modeset=0, but it came up when I ran dmesg | egrep | 'drm|radeon'. I've included both outputs below.
I checked all versions of the boot sequence, including the 4.4.0-104 versions, specified in the dmesg output. The recovery mode has 'nomodeset', but no radeon.modeset=0. I included outputs of the 4.4.0-104 generic and recovery boot sequences below, in case they'd be of use. Can you tell me how to get at the radeon.modeset=0 settings to remove them, or if you think that's not the problem, offer any other suggestions? My knowledge of Linux is miniscule. Thanks.

I got a black screen after booting. I was able to work around that problem, and then around the problem of losing my external display when I closed my laptop lid, so I can now boot normally and have only one problem - I still only have software rendering, which isn't up to the job. I checked my graphics card and it was on the list of fully supported versions. I found work-arounds online for my other problems, but no way to fix this one, which results in choppy video with audio out of sync. I trust the apport report which should be attached will give you the specs you need. Thanks.
