[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1596216] Re: Black screen on boot; no modeset workaround broken by 16.04

2016-09-13 Thread Joe Helfrifch
4.8-rc6 does not resolve this issue. Neither did the Oibaf driver PPA, or the AMD Catalyst drivers for 16.04. I have to question this process of just blindly testing the next RC each time one comes out. This problem is related to the 8700P AMD processor (and similar AMD chipsets) and/or the dec

I saw one report that said that disabling a PCI controller solved the issue as well, but I don't know what in my laptop could be running on that, unless it's the memory card adapter. Do we know that anyone is working on this upstream, or are we just installing builds hoping something will work mag

I believe this has also provided a workaround for my problems. (I never saw the repeating keys, only intermittent random control characters.) I finally made the change last night and left it running; after about 12 hours I had no bad events. I've occasionally seen the problem take longer than th
