OK, I installed those versions. Did some testing. Here are the results for
kernels 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14:-

4.11 - display OK, Ethernet (Internet) OK
4.12 - display OK, Ethernet (Internet) OK
4.13 - display problem (80% of the left hand side of screen black with
smudges) occurs, Ethernet (Internet) OK
4.14 - *Very* occasionally the display works. Usually the display problem
(80% of the left hand side of screen black with smudges) occurs

Note: also saw on 4.14 that Internet(Ethernet does not work). The other
kernels (4.11,4.12,4.13) can see ethernet and internet OK.

HTH,

Ian
