I am using switcheroo to power on/off the cards. -Black screen in 90% of attempts to boot the .40 kernel. Backlight turns off, system freeze, hard reset required. -Booting through recovery mode works, but the graphics driver seems not to be loaded, wich results in low resolution and unavailable switcheroo. - Booting old .39 kernel is always successful. Let me know, if you need more info... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166812 Title: black screen 3.2.0-40-generic kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1166812/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
