Title:
  Laptop panel output only if external display connected

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Since updating to 16.04 with kernel vmlinuz-4.4.0-22-generic my laptop
  no longer completes the boot sequence under a normal boot scenario -
  the "loading initrd..." message is displayed, then, when the VGA
  modesetting usually kicks the display into a higher resolution, the
  screen blanks and the startup apparently halts. This is a regression
  from 4.2 series kernels. I can successfully bring up the system if I
  revert to 4.2.0-35, and also if I boot  4.4 with the failsafe setting
  (but then X is painfully slow, as its using software)

  Matt
