As I wrote earlier, the EDID file I used came from edid-generator github and it is called 1920x1080.bin . You want me to google that for you? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu.

I'm not sure this is a Linux problem. It may be that the panel is reporting bad EDID data. I haven't investigated enough to say for sure. In any case none of the more recent Linux releases fixed the problem in my tests. Also no other open source OSs were able to deal with the onboard LCD panel

I was able to get the onboard LCD panel working, finally, as follows: First I extracted the edid file from the LCD panel using get-edid and putting that in /lib/firmware/edid/ncp.bin, and then forcing the kernel to take that using the kernel boot option drm.edid_firmware=edid/ncp.bin. This

I think the problem is that the laptop's onboard LCD panel is reporting EDID data with version 2 and the i915 driver can only deal with version 1 at the moment. How can this be fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server

Progress! Based on information in dmesg, pasted in at the end of this message, I thought maybe the graphics device was found OK but the laptop was trying to drive an external monitor instead of the onboard display. Sure enough, when I boot without nomodeset option and with an external HDMI monitor

I tried booting 4.18.0-16-generic (which i believe is the hwe kernel) with kernel option drm.debug=0xff. When the system came up of course it had no video but I could ssh in and grab the dmesg output, which is attached to this message. dmesg had many drm-related debugging messages and i915-related

Just in case my addition of i915 to initramfs was causing a problem with drm-intel-next, I removed i915 from initramfs and repeated the test. The result was the same, no video after a certain point in the boot process with nomodeset using the drm-intel-next kernel as in #8. -- You received this

Based on a lead from an Arch Linux blog post, I tried adding the i915 module to the initramfs. This could possibly lead to earlier initialization of the graphics device and it also seems consistent with the DragonFlyBSD "probe early" patch I linked to in my initial bug report which may have fixed
