Same issue with latest 4.2.0.25. When I go back to 4.2.0-21 everything is working perfectly. So something is "broken" with i915 module starting 4.2.0.22 and newer. After some research online, I managed to make it work even with kernel 4.2.25 by doing this vodoo magic magic. It's not clear what made it work ;-P # /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=noncq quirks.mbp_force_ahci=1 acpi_backlight=vendor apple_bl.use_gmux=1 reboot=pci i915.enable_ips=0 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 i915.modeset=1 i915.lvds_use_ssc=0 intel_pstate=disable" # /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf options i915 semaphores=1 # /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist blacklist intel_pstate reboot lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
