Hi AaronP,
I've tried your suggestion, using both the bin file dumped from windows provided in the topic linked in my first post and a cp /proc/acpi/video/IGPU/LCD0/EDID /etc/X11/edid.bin.
The Xorg log does not report the previous error message for either solution, however the screen stays black and GDM does not come up. Furhter, I do not see any other error in Xorg.0.log.
This is unfortunate since the new driver kills my laptop LCD in whatever way I try to use it
