Comment 26 for bug 912397

This bug report may be closed, but the bug itself definitely is not. I just installed Xubuntu 16.04, and of course I was stuck with black screen until I added "nomodeset" to grub (as I've done with the past 10+ versions of Ubuntu). Unfortunately, this time my max resolution is 1024x758, and those ar the few times I can get past boot.

Evidently this has something to do with X being taken out of the loop as far as loading the video drivers... correct? The kernel does this now, but seems to do it very badly. Anyway to reopen this?
