[Blackpool] Resolution issue Mint 17

[Les Pounder]

Hi Tony, Elizabeth

My top tips are

Do what Tony said first.

If that doesn't work

Find out what the graphics card is, best way is to open a terminal and run
"sudo lshw"

Google the graphics card details and Linux Mint, see if others have had the
issue.

I won't be at the makerspace for the next 3 weeks, but I am sure that Tony,
Mike, Olly and others can help.
Best
Les
