Couple of questions:
- Which exact version of Mate are you running?
- Do you have a HiDPI display? That is one of the reasons I am interested in a version later than 1.16 which has lots of issues on such a laptop display?
- You say it is better (apart from freezing your display which is not good), how so?
- Did you download Mate 1.20? If so, from where?
- Or, did you compile it yourself?
Thanks!
