Comment 0 for bug 1627496

Hello Guys,

I'm currently running an up-to-date Xenial system on amd64 (PC) platform.

Whenever I launch the OS with stock kernel (4.4.X) all seems good.

Whenever I launch the OS with let's say a mainline-PPA kernel whose version is above 3.6.0 inclusive (3.5.X are functional), or stock yakkety kernel nowadays (4.8.X), kernel fails to setup my graphics card, whose description is appended in a few text files I joined to this message.

In hope this helps,

Sincelely,
Vécu

P.S. : I very suspect this is a mainstream bug ; for any complimentary info. please don't hesitate to post and ask for more.
