"It would therefore be useful if you could test this with kernel-
modesetting disabled. You can do this either by adding “i915.modeset=0”
to the kernel boot options, on the same line after “quiet splash”, or by
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting";

Graphics Device (rev 02)

Adding "i915.modeset =0"  to kernel boot options did NOT solve this for
me.

Abandoning that option, I followed directions in KernelModeSetting:

Intel step 1 did NOT help:  "echo options i915 modeset=0 > 
/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf"
Nor did step 2:  "...need to run sudo update-initramfs -u"

The only thing that helped wasstep 3:  add xorg.conf, specifying: Driver
"vesa".  (I did not try this alone, I just stepped through the list in
the KernelModeSetting document, this being the "last resort" step...
