Put onto flash drive.

Did this on the Samsung NC10 NetBook (hostname "hawking") with the graphics
problem.
====================================================================================
Copied into ~/usk folder on NetBook
Did a sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Rebooted.

Using this kernel:-
===================
Linux hawking 4.14.0-041400rc5-generic #201710152230 SMP Mon Oct 16
02:43:31 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

When NetBook connected to an external monitor
=============================================
It appears that, when the system is connected to an external monitor, the
graphics corruption doesn't happen. However, the login screen is black with
a mouse pointer. Typed password in blind - no luck. Did it a few times,
eventually managed to login.

On the external monitor, the display is perfect.
On the NetBook screen, it is almost perfect - the task bar at the bottom of
the screen is not present.

Note: with this kernel, the system can't see my Ethernet connection.

When NetBook only using built in screen
=======================================
Boot screen left hand side 80% black with some smudges of text, remainder
20% of screen is black with the occasional part of a kernel message, later
in boot process is blue.
Login screen left hand side 80% black, remainder perfect
Typed password in blind.
Login screen left hand side 80% black, remainder perfect - even part of the
taskbar is visible.
Anomaly - when I do a screen shot by pressing the Print Screen key, when
viewed on my personal computer, the image is *perfect*. I'm no graphics
developer but it suggests to me the frame buffer is OK, so the problem is
something else.
