resolved it. I did swap out my HDMI cable + microHDMI adapter for a<br>
HDMI cable with a microHDMI end, eliminating the adapter, but I doubt<br>
that's the issue.<br>
<br>
One possibility is editing the Grub boot entry and adding "nomodeset"<br>
to the kernel line without the quotes. I haven't verified this<br>
though.<br>
