How can I turn my linux to 'fall back mode'- the mode which is used after Linux has crashed. In normal mode my display (except the cursor) skips for half a second every 2-3 seconds and it is very fustrating. In fall back mode this problem doesn't appear. I would greatly appresiate the solution, thank you.

When you are ready to explain what you have tried to solve this problem you can update your fellow LQ members so they can know how better to help you.

I'll revise this to add that we are happy to help, however just offering a very terse comment saying "don't pay attention to why I'm asking or any status, just tell me the answer" is fairly rude to your fellow members. And further, I can say that your question, based on the verbiage, is incorrect, or mis-stated. And meanwhile what I believe you are looking for is something that is highly apparent for those who have run Mint. Therefore a better problem description is helpful.

rtmistler, I edited my main post, I hope it is as helpful as it can now.

There is no such thing as fall back mode.

There is compatibility mode.
