I have a system with the same graphics chip and it is working fine for me at 1600x1200 with the default driver. I am a little embarrassed to say that after looking at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file I am not sure which driver it is actually using. I do not have any special drivers (e.g. nouveau or nvidia) installed. It has been fine and I haven't needed to look at it. It worked out of the box by default. > when attempting to login trough gdm3, the whole system freezes again. Since you are reporting system freezes I am concerned that this may be a ram problem. If I were looking at this I would install memtest86+ as a bootable system. Then reboot into memtest and let it run through several cycles to verify that you are not having a system memory problem. # apt-get install memtest86+ ... Setting up memtest86+ (4.10-1.1) ... Generating grub.cfg ... ... Found memtest86+ image: /memtest86+.bin That will configure grub automatically for a bootable memtest environment. Reboot and it can be selected. If I ever find a problem with ram then I am always very thankful because replacing ram is pretty inexpensive and a much easier thing to do than most other repairs or chasing down driver problems. Good luck! Bob
