• Bug#866348: Resolved

    From Michael Redman@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 25 20:40:03 2017

    This issue can be resolved by:

    (1) leaving "Standard System Utilities" selected during installation
    instead of deselecting for minimal install

    (2) adding "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep" to /etc/default/grub, running update-grub, and rebooting. (grub had always recognized the card/screen correctly, but Linux had not).

    Interestingly it did not work to install the standard utilities after
    system installation with apt-get install `tasksel --task-packages
    standard` (still got Xorg segfault). Had to install them during initial install.
