           Summary: Suspected Kernel problem with Intel driver on
                    Baytrail-T Z3735E tablet - black screen on boot
           Product: DRI
           Version: XOrg git
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major

I have an 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.

On slacko(and all other puppy I tried) I can't just use nomodeset I have to add
i915.modeset=0 or it will hang on boot. Leaving these out will end up in black
screen.


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 another name for it.


I have 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:
