It should be noted that the BIOS was set to Discrete graphics only
Comment 2 Jeremy Cline 2017-11-20 14:46:52 UTC 
Hey,

Thank you for the bug report. Did this work in 4.13.10 and first appear in 4.13.11, or did it break sometime between 4.13.5 and 4.13.11? If the latter is true, could you narrow down which stable release introduced the regression?

The old kernel builds are available on Koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8

Thanks!

I think this is a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511786
Comment 4 Laura Abbott 2018-02-28 03:45:59 UTC 
We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. The kernel moves very fast so bugs may get fixed as part of a kernel update. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 26 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 26 has now been rebased to 4.15.4-200.fc26.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 27, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 27.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
