Thank you for your quick response! This regression / bug was found out almost 2 YEARS ago: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=225215 and a patch was sent to upstream (see post #2), but apparently it was never pulled.
Regarding hex vs dec, the file in master they seem to be mixing both: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c The product id number for a specific panel is found in Xorg.log: fgrep EDID /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 751.496] (II) modeset(0): EDID vendor "SDC", prod id 18514 Anyway, I am hoping that Ubuntu, which has the biggest base of desktop Linux users (and in particular of people who may have bought laptops without pre-installed Windows, like Lenovo G50-80 and G50-70), would choose to fix this regression for Ubuntu users. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819968 Title: Colour banding in Lenovo G50-80 laptop display (i915) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Colour bandind is visible everywhere in the system. I believe it's not a hardware problem, since booting with 'nomodeset' works as expected and the previously installed Ubuntu 14.04 also worked. I tried installing kernel 4.18.0-16.17 from ppa:canonical-kernel- team/ppa but the problem remained.
