Problem is as stated in the title. When I safe load using the motherboard graphics the screen works throughout login and after.
When I use my nvidea drivers (nvidea-418) the laptop screen works until I login, after I hit enter on my password it freezes around a tenth of a second later, and then my external monitor kicks in.
The whole xorg log file is too big to paste, but what I believe contains the relevant parts are:

I'm assuming one of the internal display ports should be reading as connected? Any help as to how to fix or further diagnose is much appreciated
To start off with, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, with the most recent drivers available as of today. I have a similar problem with my own convoluted setup- I have an HP laptop with a GTX 1060 that I've connected over a mini PCIe to PCIe 1x doodad. The laptop itself is physically sideways, and something about the drivers for my particular laptop makes the screen rotate whenever I flip the laptop sideways (this is helpful in some situations, but not many).
In essence, my setup boils down to this: Intel integrated graphics on an integrated LVDS panel Nvidia GTX 1060 outputting over DVI to an external monitor.
For others who have this issue, please only proceed if you have something similar. I don't know if this will work for you, or if this is even a problem for laptops with AMD GPUs.
What didn't work for me:
Nvidia has a startup script for their code, which looks like this:
sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only'I tried doing most of the following with it- that's where this code came from.Using crontab to add nVidia's startup script to the boot sequence, as well as a custom xrandr script to fix the monitor
crontab -e, and then addingediting
.xinitrcalso didn't work.
I also tried modifying basically every rc file that I could get my hands on, and none of them worked.
Copying monitors.xml to GDM3's config, as per this stackOverflow answer
This partially worked- part of my problem was that my laptop's display also wasn't showing up until after I'd logged in- blindly- this took more than one try to figure out.
First, go to settings and verify that you have everything set up the way you want it. If your setup is anything like mine, the monitors.xml file will only have one monitor config in it
if you can't even see the login screen, this will help out.
What fully worked:
Not using Wayland for the login screen, per another StackOverflow answer
first, you'll need to do this:
find this line (for me, it's right below
[daemon]):and remove the comment, so that it looks like this:
At this point, you should be able to save your changes and reboot.
For people with rotated displays only:
Because my laptop is physically sideways, I also had to: copy monitors.xml to the GDM's config by doing the steps above- this fixes the orientation at the login screen, and I put a custom
xrandrscript ingnome-session-properties(also called "Startup Applications", it's a GUI ):to get my setup fully working.
Why does this work?
I honestly don't know, but I presume that it has something to do with nVidia not adding full Wayland support yet, or something of the like.
