I'm not sure about that. I have no problem with v3.15 and the screen
goes black way before a display manager is started. It's right after the
kernel loaded and usually the screen is set to native resolution.

Bisect told me aaeb2554337217dfa4eac2fcc90da7be540b9a73 as the first bad
one. Although, checking that out and running it, works good. not sure if
that makes sense.
