I think it may be moot at this point. I had been getting video 
corruption and/or crashes on that system with either the Cinnamon or KDE 
Plasma desktops and now last night, it occurred with MATE after it had 
been running for a while (1-2 hours), video corruption.

Strangely, the video is fine when using the LXDE or LXQt desktops.

I don't know either...
