Title:
  Kernel 4.4x results in blackscreen - Intel Ivybridge

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I install Ubuntu 16.04 on my computer the screen goes blank at
  login. I can blindly login and it boots but I cannot use the display
  (external monitor through HDMI).

  I've looked online for an answer to this issue but could not find a
  solution.  However, many people report this issue in forums with the
  4.4x kernel.

  On my main computer, I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.1. On this
  computer I was able to switch back to the 3.13 kernel which *does
  work*.

  On the same computer, if I use a 16.04 live CD, it does the same
  thing.  The screen goes blank.

  UEFI may be part of the issue as well.  I have it disabled in bios
  (set to legacy mode) but when I first boot, it seems to go into UEFI
  mode first and then, after rebooting with <ctrl><alt><delete> it shows
  me the list of kernels. I can select the kernel from there but if I
  use a 4.4x kernel, it blanks out at encryption passphrase screen.

  There are also people with similar issues on AskUbuntu.

  Here's some basic HW info.  If you require more, please ask.
