Hi viviz...

Welcome to the forum

Thank you for registering to share with us your experiences. By any chance, did you try the solution under "But wait we need to make it stick," here? I'm not sure it will work for you but it might be worth a try.

Regards...

I was asked to send this info for those who were helping me earlier: For those using the Intel ¡915 integrated graphics driver not supported by the newer linux kernels in 16.14, this is the fix: install the older kernel that works (linux-image-4.2.0-040200-generic_4.2.0-040200.201510260713_amd64.deb) (and headers), then mark it as locked in synaptic, then reboot, and it works. One can now get native resolution 1920x1080 working and thereby use 16.04.
