Comment 69 for bug 1724639

This bug affects my EEE PC 1000H with 1024x600 screen after a fresh installation of lubuntu-17.10-desktop-i386.

Tried several workarounds (nomodeset, i915.modeset=0, GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x600), with partial success.

However, the suggested workaround "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" is the best solution I've found. With this setting, my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" is all that is required.

Early days, but it seems to boot without screen corruption, and X starts with the native screen resolution.

Many thanks for everyone's comments on this issue,

Russ
