Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting
After installing xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting, and restarting, the screen goes blank. I can hear the sound of gdm starting, so I know the computer has not crashed - but the screen stays blank. Installing xserver-xorg-video-i810 and restarting the computer resolves the problem. I don't know which additional logs I can post, but please let me know and I will get what ever information may be required to help resolve this. Steps to reproduce: Install xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting via apt and restart the laptop.
