Same as "Bug 102929 - Kernel 4.13.1 breaks screen output" at https://bugs.freedesktop.org. Will probably be fixed in kernel 4.15.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1743041

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Can't run apport-collect as bug renders system inoperable.

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'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Mike Lewis (mrlbp)]

OK, I'll do that.

[Mike Lewis (mrlbp)]

I tested the latest upstream kernel (v4.15-rc8) and the bug still exists.

[Mike Lewis (mrlbp)]

I've just tested 4.15-rc9 generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15-rc9/. It works now.
