OK.

Short story: bug still present.

Long story:

These kernel files were downloaded and installed...
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc2+cod1-wily/
total 56M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 contact contact 66 Nov 25 17:15 linux-4.4-rc2+cod1-wily.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 contact contact 745K Nov 25 17:13
linux-headers-4.4.0-040400rc2-generic_4.4.0-040400rc2.201511231054_amd64.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 contact contact 55M Nov 25 17:14
linux-image-4.4.0-040400rc2-generic_4.4.0-040400rc2.201511231054_amd64.deb

As ever, everything seemed OK when suddenly, when I was using the system in
Firefox, the screen became corrupted with junk and the mouse pointer
disappeared.

IDEA: Will try running system with Firefox set _not_ to use graphical
hardware acceleration.

BW,

Ian
