== Display applet in Settings causes system freeze ==Display applet in Settings causes system freeze* https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/6224Workaround: Use arandr tool to modify display. Downside: changes made here will reset after system sleep or restart.Problem persists in the beta release of Mint 18.2 Sonya Cinnamon version.--------Bad news: This driver is no longer maintained so it's very unlikely this will get fixed.Good news: This driver is only useful for really old Intel GPUs (10 year old and more... the likes of i800x, i915, i965) and it is not recommended for recent Intel GPUs. Instead, it is recommended to use modesetting, not only to avoid this freeze issue, but also to get better performance.Anyhow, there are two solutions to this problem:Solution 1 - Recommended for people with modern Intel GPUs (2007 and newer)Remove the Intel driver to use modesetting instead:apt remove xserver-xorg-video-intelAnd then reboot the computer.Solution 2 - Recommended for people with old Intel GPUs (i965, i915, i8xx..etc)Disable VSync:echo CLUTTER_VBLANK=none >> ~/.profileAnd then log out.
