Hi David,

[dear help desk (Cc'ed), please document on our Known Issues page that
Intel Atom "Cherry Trail" systems may need the nomodeset option.]

OK, so this is a different problem than #12219. A quick web search
tells me that it's a common problem with Atom "Cherry Trail" systems.

FWIW I've read somewhere that Linux 4.10 might fix this problem,
thanks to this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=bb98e72adaf9d19719aba35f802d4836f5d5176c

Sadly, at this point I think our best option is to wait until Linux
4.10 is available in Debian backports and Tails includes it (my best
guess is that this will happen in Tails 3.2, currently scheduled to be
released on October 3rd), or until the fix is backported to the Linux
4.9.x branch (I wouldn't bet on this ever happening unless someone
pushes for it and does some work about it).

Sorry!

Cheers,
