Issue is likely nouveau. Installing proprietary nvidia drivers, everything works fine after nvidia mods are loaded

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Thanks in advance.

It would be best in the Ubuntu installer image. Is there a way get an ISO build with 4.15?

[naisanza (naisanza)]

I just tried it with the latest download from the main page. And it seems to have issues displaying 3440 x 1440 @ 59Hz/60Hz. It can only display it at 49Hz.

However, at the login screen, it will display, by default, at 3440 x 1440 @ 60Hz, so there is no display shown.

On Windows 10, there is no display issues at 3440 x 1440 @ 60Hz

ISO Image hash used for new install:
1a3d2d32ada795e5df47293745a7479bcb3e4e29d8ee1eaa114350b691cf38d3 ubuntu-17.10.1-desktop-amd64.iso

setting `nomodeset` in the grub kernel line allows it to display in a lower resolution
