Marius B. Kotsbak, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/precision-m4800-workstation/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A11). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: latest-bios-a09 ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a11 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400235 Title: 10de:11fc [Dell Precision M4800] Screen does not wake up after sleep Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When the laptop is either set to sleep by entering Fn-F1 or by timeout, the screen is black after waking it up again (using the power button, it does not wake by mousepad movement or key presses). In earlier Ubuntu versions (14.04), a workaround was to enter a terminal console by hitting CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-F7, but that does not seem to work anymore. The problem is is present in todays (2014-12-8) Vivid daily image (booted with "nomodeset", but not done any configuration of the screen).
