I recently updated to 18.04. My laptop has an Optimus configuration so both Nvidia and Intel cards.
I could not get past the login screen of Gnome using Xorg. The mouse and screen would freeze. I found that by deleting xorg.conf
that I could then login. If I tried generating an xorg.conf
file with nvidia-xconfig
.
This xorg.conf
file would again freeze my login attempts so I would again delete the xorg.conf file
.
My problem is that nvidia-settings and Gnome settings now do not see a second attached monitor. Xorg is using the the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
to load. Below is my gpu-manager.log
file:
last_boot_file: /var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-common/last_gfx_boot

Any ideas how to fix this so Nvidia sees a second monitor?
