When using any Kernel 4.15.0-23 and above
I am getting a Black screen when setting my bios to use hybrid graphics (optimus) on my Metabox (Clevo) P650RS laptop. Boot up shows the Linux grub menu and after that just black screen, I can blindly enter my linux Mint password and hear linux mint login chime.
I can also use recover mode in grub and boot with screen using software mode.
If I choose nvidia discrete graphics in bios i can boot using nvidia hardware driver v390, v396, v410, V415 and it all works fine. Intel graphics are disabled and not used and no prime.
My Laptop is a Metabox (Clevo) P650RS
My graphics are Intel HD Graphics 530 and nvidia GTX 1070.
<UPDATED> Found that any kernel later than 4.15.0-22 will cause Black Screen.
