OK, with a little help of my friends yesterday I tested the ISO image


Tails-Version: 2.4 - 20160517 464abceb044cace37012f653bfca217c44185ddc
live-build: 3.0.5+really+is+2.0.12-0.tails2


Toshiba Satellite l50-c-21l
---------------------------

(sorry didn't got to gather any debug info, like the graphic card)
When running Tails 2.3, the screen resolution is wrong, images super
big, and can only start in failsafe mode.

With the new ISO, the same problem (resolution bloated so you only see a
part of the screen) occurs without using failsafe mode.
I hope I will get a hold of this laptop later this week to keep testing.


The rest of the laptops tested didn't presented any problems.
