So I patched the 4.15.0-15-generic kernel from kernel.ubuntu.com with the supplied patch and then intstalled the kernel on my 16.04 xenail laptop and everything works as it should. The display came up, the touch pad is responsive and working normally. I have enclosed my dumps of lswh, lspci, lsmod and my cmdline output.
How I installed this: I build a bionic container on my laptop: lxc launch ubuntu-daily:bionic kernel lxc file push spth-pinctrl-fix.diff kernel/root/ lxc exec kernel bash apt update && apt upgrade -y apt build-dep linux-image-`uname -r` apt install fakeroot git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git cd ubuntu-bionic cp ../spth-pinctrl-fix.diff . patch -p1 < spth-pintctrl-fix.diff fakeroot debian/rules clean fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch After the build and the output of the deb files: exit mkdir ~/kernel-test cd ~/kernel-test lxc file pull kernel/root/linux-image-4.15.0-15-generic_4.15.0-15.16_amd64.deb . lxc file pull kernel/root/linux-image-extra-4.15.0-15-generic_4.15.0-15.16_amd64.deb . lxc file pull kernel/root/linux-headers-4.15.0-15_4.15.0-15.16_all.deb . lxc file pull kernel/root/linux-headers-4.15.0-15-generic_4.15.0-15.16_amd64.deb . Also, the linux-headers-4.15.0-15 deb depends on libssl1.1, which is default in Bionic, but not in Xenial, so I had to download that deb file from here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libssl1.1 And then I just used dpkg -i to install the files and reboot the laptop and it started up properly. While the laptop display works and the touchpad is responsive and works properly. there are still issues with the FN+F7/F8 brightness controls, and the other FN options that should work out of the box, but at least the display works with the 4.15.0-15 kernel ** Attachment added: "logs.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1761261/+attachment/5125965/+files/logs.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761261 Title: nouveau/nvidia drivers do not work with display in Bionic on Asus GL703VD Laptop Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Tried to install Bionic Desktop on my Asus GL703VD ROG Laptop with NVIDIA GTX 1050M Video Card (with i915 Intel graphics card when not using 3D) and the installer does not display. I have tried nouveau.modeset=0 and nomodeset boot options to no avail. I was able to finally install Bionic by hooking up the laptop to a projector, but after a reboot, the laptop display still did not work and I had to set the account to autologin otherwise I could not login to the laptop. I then install openssh-server so that I could ssh into the laptop and I installed the nvidia-390 drivers from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa which installed, but still no local display. In Artful, I could install with the nouveau.modeset=0 and then installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers and everything (except touchpad, LP: 1738263) worked. lspci shows the graphics card and NVIDIA card, and lsmod does show that before NVIDIA drivers install, it is using nouveau, asus_wmi, and i915 for graphcis, and once NVIDIA drivers are install, lsmod only shows i915 and asus_wmi for graphics while nvidia is used for gpu and 3D, but still no display on the laptop. lsmod_prenvidia.txt shows the nouveau driver and the /proc/cmdline lsmod_nvidia.txt shows nvidia drivers installed and the /proc/cmdline lspci.txt shows the detected hardware lshw.txt shows the hardware in the laptop. Please let me know if you need any other information.
