a blank screen as soon as the kernel is loaded. The only way
to operate with
kernel 4.7 is to add "nomodeset" to the command line. The

Yup. Means that I'll get to revert a pile of patches (plus even
more
in -next), but that's what we get for not handling regressions
timely.
Dave poked me about the same bug already too. But will take a few
days
until the pull is in your inbox I guess.

I attached a oneliner to the bug today, that I *think* should fix
the
problem.

After I checked out the problem commit and built that kernel with the
one-line
patch, the display works; however, mainline still fails. I am
currently
bisecting to find what other commit fails. At a minimum, we should be
able to
reduce the number of commits that need reverting.

I was seeing the same issue Linus reported but very sporadically.
 Assumed it was due to my wierd configuration - eDP + usb type c -> MST
hub -> DVI KVM -> dual head HDMI.  Checked out the one liner - works
for me but I guess there are still other failures.


I'm not sure what I did wrong before, but when I retested mainline with the one 
liner, it now works. Once that is pushed to mainline, the bug should be fixed.


Sorry for any confusion.

Larry

Unfortunately, that patch did not help. If you have any other patches, or a repo 
I can pull from for testing, please let me know.
