For whatever reason, the bad kernel is *apparently*
`[61968528acfba3cf3cbf4d32f0bfba6fa9e754db] UBUNTU: Start new release`,
the first following 4.4.0.53's release.

It may well be, although I also wonder if something went wrong with the
commit bisect/build? (Feedback on that please).

To git bisect the kernel, I followed [these
instructions](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Commit_bisecting_Ubuntu_kernel_versions).
building each version with...

```
vim debian.master changelog # Here, I made changes according to instructions
fakeroot debian/rules clean
fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch
```

After each (1.5-2 hour) build, I install:

* `linux-headers-4.4.0-{whatever}_all.deb`
* `linux-headers-4.4.0-{whatever}-generic_{whatever}_amd64.deb`
* `linux-image-4.4.0-{whatever}--generic_{whatever}_amd64.deb`

Then I reboot into that kernel, and I invariably get:

* Nothing on the laptop screen (only on the external).
* Odd resolution (unlike 4.4.0-57 release and onward).
* No external mouse (unlike 4.4.0-57 release and onward).

Of course, the last two could be related to bisect landing in the
middle, before the fixes for the two above, but I still wonder.

Finally, I reboot back into the working kernel, uninstall the three
packages I just installed, and run `git bisect bad` (since the test
kernel still doesn't work). Then I go back to tweaking the changelog and
rebuilding.

Title:
  Internal laptop display stops working in 4.4.0-57-generic

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Toshiba Satellite P745D w/ AMD graphics, and I'm running the
  open source Radeon driver. I can use the internal and/or an external
  VGA monitor just fine in 4.4.0.53-generic and prior. However, upon
  updating to 4.4.0-57-generic, the internal monitor shuts off after
  GRUB and will not display anything. Setting NOMODESET in GRUB does not
  resolve the issue - I had to reboot into 4.4.0-53 to see anything on
  the internal laptop monitor.
