Both graphical and text installation left me with a black screen right

It appears that the 3KX82ES number is what defines the hardware relevant
to this report; other ProBook 440 G5 appear to use different (Intel)
WiFi adapters. (And don't

for sake of completeness, the machine everything so far was tested on
used to run bios version 1.05.

as a result, suspend to ram now works reproducibly (tried about 10x so
far, with error rate being about 60% before, i assume the problem is
gone), and the non-free wifi driver (wl) also keeps working through

* the suspend problem persists at least from kernel version 3.2 through
to 3.8. an ubuntuforums report[1] claims that it suspend worked in
ubuntu 12.04 but not in 12.10, the former using kernel 3.2, the latter

i found out more about the original wifi
as of today, wifi just works at what seems to be full strength. i can't
possibly pin it down to the individual updates i've done, or when since
the report was filed it started working. some packages were installed
from experimental (most prominently libdrm2 and libdrm-radeon1; apart
from that, only
the wifi issue was not rfkill related; rather, the wifi just has very
low signal strength, looks like a powersaving mode that's active even
though it shouldn't. i haven't found out more yet, i'll keep this bug
report updated.
