This Linux Mint thread seems to show that changing the settings for UEFI vs Legacy Boot cured the black screen problem, but there's two contradictory answers. The nonfree intel-microcode package could be worth adding, too. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=215965

Hmmm...The guy with my exact problem seems to have fixed it in UEFI by just installing the latest Linux Mint.Or maybe my reading comprehension might be bad (Sorry,not I am an ESLer)stevepusser wrote:This Linux Mint thread seems to show that changing the settings for UEFI vs Legacy Boot cured the black screen problem, but there's two contradictory answers.

Is there some special package thats included with latest mint so as to work with latest UEFI drivers?

Segfault wrote:Yup, there is EFI framebuffer, if it cannot handle the [possibly buggy] UEFI firmware you get black screen, booting in CSM mode will work around it.
Will there be a fix for this issuein the future?Is there some possible package I have to install to fix this?
Re: Poor graphics/performance in Dell Inspirion 15 3552
It is simple in Linux, you look at logs and you fix it. EFI framebuffer driver is part of kernel. We do not know what is wrong with your setup, you haven't told us. Lots of guessing has be done, I really don't know what else to tell you. Use Ubuntu because your hardware is certified by Ubuntu?

Some how I got my device to boot by enabling nomodeset in kernel parameters,but my graphics is still corrupted according to inxi -G output

have you installed the "xserver-xorg-video-intel" package from backports?

I gotta say I'm a little baffled by this... would it be possible to post the full output of inxi -F it might be helpful to know system details.

Re: Poor graphics/performance in Dell Inspirion 15 3552
The only thing I can see of noticeable difference is the bios (UEFI) firmware looks to be old, you could update that to 4.0.13 it might help... Other than that I can see no reason for it not to be working like my system.

Re: Poor graphics/performance in Dell Inspirion 15 3552
I have the same computer (Inspiron 3552 Linux Edition) and I have the exact same issue. Stretch boots (after LVM password screen) on a blank screen (to be very descriptive screen backlight turns on two or three times and just goes away for ever) even in legacy mode (with a straight debian BIOS install) ... Nevertheless, I can boot with nomodeset but that's not a solution (no backlight control, some graphic issues, etc.)Dai_trying wrote:Maybe legacy could work for you...trailtron wrote:I did and it still have'nt fixed the problem.

Have anyone find any solutions to these problems ?
Do you have an EFI-installed stretch on your system ? Can the lack of EFI explain this kind of issues ?

Re: Poor graphics/performance in Dell Inspirion 15 3552
My system is UEFI booted and running smoothly so far, my system was not a Linux ready model (Linux was not offered as a purchase option) but I have been successfully running 3 OS's and have tested a few others (with varying degrees of success for different distro's).
If this is a legacy boot problem that could explain why I have not experienced it as I don't use legacy options...
