Greetings, guys! If I'm in the wrong place, please correct me. I'm a new user, have been flirting with linux on and off for nearly 10 years on the most superficial level you can imagine, and now decided to install mint on an old pc from work, used for printing and light internet usage only.
It's an older machine, designed to run win7 originally and then updated to win10. Win10 sucked on it because its graphic adapter had no official win10 drivers. It got glitchy in a baaad way but an older guy from work apparently didn't notice it. Yesterday, our HP printer driver went buggy as well, then I decided it was time to change.
Installed the latest xfce version and it was great. Once I noticed some wierd graphic glitches but it fixed itself somehow. Older coworker is now at the machine experiencing the glitches repeatedly. I'll be there in about 2-3 hours to check on it.
Is there a safer, very compatible graphics mode available which handles 1080p res? It's really basic internet usage. Sorry, can't provide images and more info right now, I'm mainly looking for info on compatibility modes.
It glitches so he needs to hard reset, then it works again. Repeats every 20min, aprox.
Sorry for the little info provided, I'll be there soon and be able to provide more info.
