Hi list,
yesterday I applied the update to the most recent kernel and unfortunately now my laptop will no longer boot into a graphical session. So if you have a Dell Precision 5530, don't reboot into the 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 kernel. If you did and it runs well, please tell me how you have configured your system, as I currently cannot even get the Tumbleweed rescue disk to boot (exactly the same symptoms: blank screen).
It has nothing to do with the Dell as such, but with the fact that it has an nVidia graphics card. Those problems have been mentioned a few time already on this list. This is exactly the reason I only choose laptops that do *not* have nVidia graphics hardware. Living on the edge with TumbleWeed and the lagging nVidia support makes the chance on a non-functional laptop too big for my comfort. Of course this all depends on how you use the laptop. I need a lot of power and do not really care about high performance graphics. I never play games Linux 5.0.1-1-default [openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190314] HP ZBook 15G3 Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz/2986(8 cores) x86_64 15958 Mb Graphics: Device-1: AMD Venus XTX [Radeon HD 8890M / R9 M275X/M375X] driver: radeon v: kernel Display: tty server: X.Org 1.18.3 driver: radeon FAILED: ati unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz, 1920x1200~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0 256 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.3.4
