Thanks. :) I find old files in /etc/modprobe.d: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 Nov 29 2016 amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 Apr 28 2011 i915-kms.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 May 15 2017 intel-microcode-blacklist.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 May 10 2014 modesetting.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 292 Aug 3 2012 nvidia-kernel-common.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 Nov 12 2013 oss-compat.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27 Jan 19 2014 radeon-kms.conf ...I find radeon-kms.conf contains: "options radeon modeset=-1". Is that likely where my problem, or part of my problem, is coming from?
