So, basically, I've got this Hp thin client which used to run on windows embedded, but I wanted to repurpose it, so i installed Zorin Lite, but, when it booted up, the cursor was HUGE, and the icons from the apps menu where very small , and just seems like everything is the wrong shape and resolution, but i can't change anything, I tried changing the cursor size, and i couldn't because it was the smallest one available.
Also... One day, I booted the thin client up, just as I use to do, but to my astonishment, everything was ok, the cursor was the correct size, and everything running smoothly. I turned off the computer, and when I checked the next day, it was all wrong AGAIN!!
Intermittent problems are the worst to diagnose...

I don't believe this should be discounted... @Indi73 , you may want to check your RAM, too and create a very swappy swap file if needed.
I undeleted that line.

Yes, the Driver may have helped - but the RAM may also rear its head, too, in future.
