y laptop is an Acer Aspire E15 ( E5-576G-5762). It has the UHD 620 and an MX150 for graphics. I've tried both 8.1-rc3 and 9.0-rc1 and neither of them boot unless I add the kernel boot option 'nomodeset' which disables GPU hardware acceleration. I've tried the kernel options 'xforcevesa', 'nouveau.modeset=0' and 'i915.modeset=1'; the only option that allows android to boot is 'nomodeset' which relies on software rendering, causing my CPU to be under constant load, causing high temperatures. Is the issue with my laptop, Nvidia Optimus, is it a driver issue? 

All testing that I've done was tried from a LiveCD. I used both the normal android-x86_64 iso and a 9.0 iso from Bliss OS.

All help is appreciated.

Regards,
Richie

UPDATE:
Well somehow Phoenix OS on Android 7.1 successfully boots with hardware acceleration with Mesa 17.1.something. I'll try an Android-x86 Nougat image to see if it was a regression when you guys moved to Oreo. If it isn't then the Phoenix OS guys did something different.

UPDATE 2
Tried Android-x86_64 7.1-rc3 and it successfully booted with Mesa 17.1.10. So it might be a regression with the Mesa driver in Android x86 versions 8.1 and 9.0.

Richie

Hello,

try  android-x86_64-8.1-r3-k49.iso
it's 8.1 with 4.9 kernel.
