Don't know where mode setting broke, had my box set aside for a while, so didn't get all my normal updating in.
I'm on Yakkety. The most recent Ubuntu kernel that I have on my machine that did KMS was 4.3.0-5.16 None of the 4.4 kernels images work without adding nomodeset to the grub options. Here is a listing showing the versions of the Ubuntu 4.4 kernel images I have installed. Installed: 4.4.0-37.56 Installed: 4.4.0-21.37 Installed: 4.4.0-22.40 Installed: 4.4.0-9136.55 Installed: 4.4.0-25.44 Installed: 4.4.0-33.52 Installed: 4.4.0-18.34 Currently have these Debian kernel images installed and mode setting works with both of them. seeker@ubuntu:~$ apt policy linux-image-4*amd64 | grep Installed -B 1 WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.
