The 965 is only using "ro", the 4.8 and 4.9 kernel are installed but not 
working. The 4.7.0-1 kernel works swell, if the newer kernel's are not 
working later on I will do something else, like import another kernel 
that will be updated.

The ATI is basically working with the 4.8.0-2 kernel and with the 4.9 
kernel if I assist it by pressing key's on the keyboard or it dies and 
it's just using "ro".

The Nvidia has to use "ro nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" and is working 
swell with the 4.8.0-2 kernel but dies with the 4.9 kernel.
