Hello, everyone !
I come across a problem with my current configuration (lenovo y550-4-kc-b , nvidia gt m240). I installed Lubuntu 17.04 with Xfce. Grafic artifacts appear when I run applications like Chromium, Atom editor, Visual Studio Code with hardware acceleration. The problem has gone If I disable this option. Also I have artifacts with Unity on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 (Unity), (17.04 - much more better). No artifacts with Xfce. I tried to install proprietary drivers (Nvidia legacy binary driver - version 304.135, Nvidia binary driver version 340.102). The system crashes (black screen when i reload). The last workible driver on windows 7 267.76 . I updated all drivers and software. How can i fix this issue ? It doesn’t matter to me which driver to use - nouveau or proprietary.

Welcome in club mate. The Official NVIDIA Forums | NVIDIA Last working drivers for us are 266.58. We all tried several others and none has worked above the 266.58. Even Nvidia support said in October 2011 they know about that “issues” but they have said contact “lenovo”…and Lenovo said pay if you want us to make drivers for older cards.
