After some disordered investigations. It seems the i915 driver is borked, and if removed vesa fails to start since it thinks the FBDEV is already taken.
Tried some proprietary nvidia drivers also but with no success. nouveau kernel driver fails to be detected and does not get loaded properly. Will try to force-load nouveau at boot and see what happens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513482 Title: Xorg freeze, i915 driver issue ?
