Hi,
I installed ubuntu-mate 16.04.4 on my old laptop, an eeepc 1005HA (kernel vmlinuz-4.10.0-28-generic) and everything was fine. However, after running twice "apt update followed by apt upgrade", that installed the kernel vmlinuz-4.13.0-36-generic, the screen was almost covered by a big black square on the left side. The problem must have to do with the resolution because during my repeated attempts at getting a correct install sometimes resulted in a screen resolution of only 800 x 600 instead of the normal (maximum) of 1024 x 800 with no other option available. I have installed various flavors of ubuntu over the years on this laptop without ever seeing this problem before. Thanks for hints! D-E
