[Bug 1765923] Re: Nvidia driver leads to black screen on bionic 18.04 SDDM LightDM bug?

[hsinclair]

The driver works properly. However, the configuration is what's at issue
(therefore an apt problem). The configuration that's forcible enforced
in the xorg.conf.d directory doesn't take into account that some devices
have dual video cards. My issue was that there is an onboard Intel video
chipset and also a NVidia discrete video adapter in my laptop. The
kernel detects Intel and NVidia video cards and loads the Intel
drivers... When the X-Windows system loads it detects the NVidia video
card and attempts to load the X-Server system for it, but the underling
modules haven't been loaded into the system and therefore loads the the
black screen.

If you go into the xorg.conf.d and modify the 10-nvidia.conf files to
add the [Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"] line then it works, but because
these files are not configured in the package as configuration files
they are overwritten on every update.
