'nomodeset' and 'i915.modeset=0' had a strange effect for me: even with monitor connected the last thing I had shown on the monitor was the splash screen. I suspect this is because latest systems require KMS to be enabled. Adding 'video=VGA-1:1280x1024@60me' helped and I got no black screen. 'e' option is mandatory here since it forces the system into thinking that there is a valid VGA signal coming from the monitor even if it isn't (the kernel.org doc for the video option is here <a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt">https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt</a>). So my boot options line in /etc/default/grub looks like this now (don't forget to run sudo update-grub if you are on ubuntu or debian and want to reproduce) GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=VGA-1:1280x1024@60me"</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
