Hi, did you ever get this problem solved?

I have the same on ODYS WinTab 8 with Intel Atom Baytrail-T Z3735E CPU.

Any(tried many different distro including all ubuntu, slacko(and other puppy),
android, phoenix, remix, x86) linux boots, then end up in black screen - If I
add nomodeset to grub.cfg on the LiveUSB(made with Unetbootin) then it boots
into desktop - but then I can't change resolution or rotation. If I remove
nomodeset and add i915.modeset=0 then its the same - still can't rotate or
change resolution.

This is on 16.04 Linuxium 64bit, Unity, gnome, xubuntu.

On Kubuntu 16.10 linuxium 64bit resolution are available but not working -
rotation is there but not working either. This doesn't work on Unity, gnome,
xubuntu - I have not tried Lubuntu or MATE.

My thoughts is that the screen/display/monitor/panel or what you will call it,
is not getting discovered correctly by the kernel. It is only found as default.

It is not possible to get 

I worked on this problem and some other ones with this tablet(sound, wi-fi
bluetooth), for over 2½ month. Bluetooth and wi-fi works in linuxium - sound do
not.

My effort on getting slacko to work on this can be followed below, that page
also have hardware list:
