Same thing here on 16.04, with nvidia driver 384.111.
Kernel 4.4.0-112: no problems
kernel 4.4.0-116: Low res and can't login on graphical mode.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall nvidia drivers to no effect.
I did a diff for dmesg output on both cases. The relevant bits are:
> Spectre V2 mitigation: Mitigation: Full generic retpoline
> Spectre V2 mitigation: Speculation control IBPB not-supported IBRS
> not-supported
and
< nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
< Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
< nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing -
tainting kernel
