40 Dale,
41 I have sort of been following that thread and it has been on my
42 mind. I currently do seem to be using 4.3.2 and I've wondered if that
43 requires a complete rebuild of the machine. I don't mind doing that
44 but I don't want to start down that path until I've exhausted all
45 other possibilities as it takes so much time. I'm pretty sure my
46 current kernel was compiled with 4.3.2 and X certainly was as I built
47 it this morning.

49 Thanks!
