Okay, thanks for the logs.

I don't see nothing wrong at Xorg logs nor in dmesg, beyond these lines:

***
[   15.624273] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 3
[   15.624280] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID:
***

But I don't think they're relevant enough to prevent the video signal output.

I would fisrt try by disabling KMS by passing "nomodeset" at kernel boot 
line.
