Display + PM + Battery monitor problem with i5 - 7200U CPU

English Hardware
1

I have just purchased Dell inspiron 7560 laptop which has i5-7200U CPU with intel and NVIDIA graphics adapter. I have installed cleanly OpenSUSE 42.2. However, I find following issues:
(a) it is stating battery is not present, (b) when I close laptop lid, display is off while opening the lid is unable to bring the display although laptop is not hung (capslock light, keyboard light works).

The following states the long list while I am showing the first entry…

Also I am mentioning

However, I also checked

 /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf

to reconfirm that there is entry for

 blacklist nouveau

. If I run optirun for NVIDIA GPU it works well for demo graphics while other graphics face problem. However, my codes with CUDA run very well.

I am also pasting

dmesg

for your understanding which could be seen at http://pastebin.com/3Mgg3pcA .

I trust I have stated my problem. I have also presented required diagnostic informations. I don’t understand what should I do now.

Please help to resolve the issue as I do not wish to uninstall OS and other codes.
Thanks and Regards

those with more experience may be able to pinpoint your problem (or have differing opinions) but IMHO your running very new hardware on an old kernel (if using default). even if you fix your problem, pstates etc will not work efficiently (unless patches backported). If you consider updating to leap kernel stable or tumbleweed (latest of everything) you might see if the problem still persists (note: one can change to TW directly from leap https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_upgrade).

since nobody has responded. An observation - your running very new hardware on an old kernel (if default) which may or may not contribute to your issues. you can update to kernel stable, there is also tumbleweed - but you have dedicated graphics and its out of my experience zone. The paste you supplied is private, you should use susepaste site.
