Public bug reported: Problem: Laptop panel turns off during boot, which makes the laptop unusable.
Expected Results: Laptop panel is ON when I boot without "nomodeset", and I can use graphical UI. Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 (clean install) kernel 4.4.0-24 X.Org X Server 1.18.3 Hardware: HP ProBook 4535 [AMD/ATI] Sumo [Radeon HD 6380G] [AMD/ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] (rev ff) Overview: I used "nomodeset" kernel parameter to install Ubuntu, because without it I face the same bug - Laptop panel turns off during boot. UI works with this kernel parameter but it's not usable as it's very slow(!!!). When "nomodeset" is removed the system boots but the screen turns off during the boot.
