I had no luck getting installed the latest stable R4.0.4. It always ended with a black screen (with or without a moveable mouse pointer or blinking cursor) just before the installer gui should come up. (I think) I tried all solutions around the web.

Haven’t tried the Beta 4.1 yet. Please advise.

Known issue for this laptop on version 4.0.4 (I don’t remember the reason, though). I can confirm, however, that it runs 4.1 well, with the exception of being unable to resume from suspend.
