Reading this bug report more closely, it does appear different than the bug I am encountering. With *this* bug, one sees a black screen *with* a cursor, my symptoms are different, as the laptop panel is failing display link training, so nothing is displayed, it flickers a couple of times and nothing every appears. *This* bug appears to be Xorg related, but the bug I'm encountering (which is known on bugs.freedesktop.org) is a bug with the i915 kernel module.
Sorry for the spam, last post for now I promise!

For now I've removed the duplicate status of https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux/+ bug/1824216 and will add comments there moving forward.
Again apologies for posting so many times, I honestly thought this was the same issue I'm encountering.
