In your OP you wrote 1920x1280, so I had to guess what you meant.

What you've done is a good workaround, but not a genuine fix, or determinative why
the problem presented.
Compare the output from xrandr on the problem system to xrandr from your two
others that use that display. I expect you'll find quite a difference.
There are some quirks I'm unfamiliar with in Skylake systems. Your log shows
(EE) modeset(G0): glamor initialization failed
(EE) Failed to open authorization file "/var/run/sd..": No such file or directory
Those are bad. I don't know why there should be both modeset(G0) and modeset(0) in
the same log when only one display is in use. IME, there should only be the latter
then only one GPU exists and only one output is in use.
