[Bug 1580311] Re: Laptop panel output only if external display connected

 

mjh, in the future, please ensure you check for newer kernels before
reporting test results, as the latest mainline kernel is now 4.7-rc6.
Could you please advise?

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
