Re: [NOT SOLVED]black stripes LMDE2 INTEL 915GM/GMS/910GML

I'm seeing update after update but nothing changes my problem.

I have Chromium / firefox and image viewer open.
As you can see it also effects the back ground and icons.

Re: Graphics issue on LMDE2

Disabling splash screen in grub has no effect.
