On my XPS 13 QHD the laptop screen goes black after a couple of seconds (but this may vary) at the linux login window (The OS still works, only no screen), same thing happens with a linux live USB.
I can have the screen if I use an external monitor via mini display port. If I set nomodeset
or i915.modeset=0
in the grub kernel parameters the laptop screen works but the display port doesn't, so no external monitor and moreover graphics is poor.
I tried different kernels (from 3.19
to 4.2.0-040200rc3-generic
) and different distros (Fedora 22, Ubuntu 15.04), but I always have this issue.
Pre-installed Win8 works fine.
Any suggestion?
