So I built a kernel from the Upstream LTS (4.17.3) and tried to apply the patch, which failed. So I removed it and tried a clean build and was able to get Xenial to boot up with this kernel. I then decided to install Bionic and install this kernel on my laptop however, I noticed that when I downloaded the latest version (as of July 2, 2018) the laptop display worked. I checked and I am running Bionic with the 4.15.0-24 kernel. I then installed the NVIDIA proprietary drivers and low and behold the laptop is working. (I had to modify my grub to include nouveau.modeset=0 since after logging in the display would hang, but after passing the kernel parameter everything worked out of the box.)
This is quite amazing! I'm going to check out the ChangeLog to see what patches you have running on this. For the most part, things are working normally. I did notice if I try to go to the TTY1 or TTY2, I get the GNOME login Screen on TTY1 and my normal desktop on TTY2, but TTY3-6 are standard terminals. The brightness control keys still do not work, but the touchpad works so far from initial testing (Haven't tried the 5 finger test on it yet, but 4 fingers works) and the hibernate issue when the lid closes seems to be fixed since I was able to resume when I opened the laptop and pressed space bar to turn it back on. I will continue to test, but we may have a winner winner chicken dinner for this bug.

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.
