[Bug 660596] Re: Black screen after installing Nvidia drivers on 10.10

 

I thought I was affected by this bug but it was actually a different
root cause in my case.

The actual cause was my dual display setup.

When I switched to the nvidia driver from nouveau, I didn't realize that
I had even plugged in my "second" display.  While the display was
actually powered off, the driver was still able to automatically detect
it.  The second display, which was off, got chosen as primary display
which.  The end result was that I was able to reach the console but not
see the X screen on the primary.
