Have you just upgraded the kernel to 4.13.0-26?

I've got a similar problem - if my external monitor is plugged into mt Asus laptop I get a black screen but if I unplug it I get the LCD panel OK. Doesn't happen with the 4.12 kernel.

Same issue for me having just upgraded the kernel to 4.13.0-26 on my HP Elitebook 8470P
Was happily using an external monitor before but now nothing is visible after the Linux splash screen. If I unplug the external monitor (in this case from a dock) then all works ok.
Any ideas?

Same issues on Fujitsu Lifebook with Intel Core I7-4702, Intel integrated Graphic card HD 4600, an external 24" Fujitsu monitor connected via HDMI and Linux Mint 18.3 64 bit Cinnamon v. 3.6.7

After kernel update to version 4.13.0-26, if I boot with external monitor connected I obtain a black screen. But pc is still working (with Ctrl-Alt-F1 console in text mode shows up).
If I boot without the external monitor connected, the boot brings me correctly to login screen and then to graphical desktop. After booting, if I connect the external monitor, this is recognized and output goes to this monitor, but resolution is not recognized correctly and, most of all, mouse input is not working at all (mouse cursor moves correctly but no action, nor graphic widget animation on button or icons, if I click).

Falling back to previous kernel (4.10.0-38-generic) works perfectly.

Any solution?

Many thanks,
Max
