You got some error in the boot log about an unknown stepping function, right? Then an older, faulty version of the Intel driver loaded in its place?
Go back to doing a fresh install of 16.10. Make sure you allow 3rd-party and choose the Intel microcode when offered (and have a working network connection to download and install updates during the install process). Verify kernel 4.6+ (should be 4.8), and look at the boot log after installing (the error about stepping should be gone). Good luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1656155 Title: System (keyboard & touchpad) freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdrm/+bug/1656155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
