Will there be a fix for this issuein the future?Is there some possible package I have to install to fix this?

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

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.

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.

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.)

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 ?

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...

LLVMPipe is really slow.It can't even play snes games without lagging.

What do you mean ?
Legacy is useless with an EFI-installed system. And you still can boot from what ever you want by editing bios options by pressing F2 or F12 during boot.

I've finally find some time to deal with this issue. I've just installed Debian 9 (MATE) with an efi partition. As far i can tell, it seems fixed too.

I have just some errors at shutdown (i can see red stuffs on the screen) but can't really tell what all is about (to quick)... By the way, how can i check my shutdown logs ?

I have the same problems: skylake and Gallium driver (llvmpipe) for video, no special driver for intel video.
After topic http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... 23#p635323 I've moved to Debian Jessie with kernel 4.8 (now 4.9) from backports and solved initial problem with suspend and hibernation, but I could not solve problem with installing drivers for integrated intel video.

My parameters are

Code: Select all

OS: Debian 8.6
kernel: 4.9.0.0.bpo.2-amd64
windows manager: xfce

Default X.Org version was 1.16.*, I installed the 1.19.3 from testing branch. But nothing has changed, gallium is still taking place.
I tried to change boot setting in bios from legacy to UEFI, but bios said, that such setting couldn't be change.

Is there any other variants to make video work with appropriate driver only with legacy boot, that is without UEFI?

To solve issues with Inspiron 3552, Debian 8 and LLVM, you have to upgrade those following packages from jessie-backports. Then, you have to restart your computer. I don't really know which one solve the problem. But, together, they solve it.

Code: Select all

binfmt-support (2.1.5-1)

xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.21.15-2+b2) to 2:2.99.917+git20161206-1~bpo8+1
libdrm-intel1 (2.4.58-2) to 2.4.74-1~bpo8+1
