I have the box at the new place now where it is set up slightly differently in terms of screen connection. I can tell you right away that the issue does not occur on a VGA (SUB-D) connector.
searching for a HDMI cable to verify something comparable to the old setup .... ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590650 Title: Noisy white turquoise shadows in colors and since Xenial Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Hi, since the upgrade to Xenial I've had graphic issues on my NAS/HTPC box. All white is rendered as a noisy grey, and colors have a bunch of bright turquoise pixels. Back then I've reverted to the old 4.2.0-35 kernel I had before and things were fine. The recent update to 4.4.0-22 didn't help, so I decided it is time to debug and fix that since I don't know how much more LTS users might be affected. I lack experience in debugging graphical issues, what are the right next steps? - are there obvious extra debug information sources that might help? - I tried most of the common troubleshooting guides without any effect, let me know if I should tweak any i915 parms or so. - would it be useful to go to a Yakkety kernel, and if this fixing it bisecting from there - if so on what tree - I don't want a full Y upgrade on this box? I made some screenshots, but the issue is not visible there - this might be a hint in itself as it should imply that the error so is "after" the graphics buffer right? I'll attach the screenshots and cam shots of the same so you can see what I mean.
