If you investigate more closely, you will probably find out, that the system still works, just the graphics is fscked up: Try logging in via ssh, or shutting down the system by blindly typing into ttyC0. Broadwell graphics support was added a while ago. IIRC 5.8 should have some basic support, but still a few bugs. By now (-current) it is petty stable though. > Any ideas or suggestions? 1) Use modesetting(4) in xorg.conf and wait for 5.9 2) Avoid the vulnerable code paths (e.g. "shutdown" in wm) and wait for 5.9 3) Update to a recent snapshot.
