Upstream is against changing mutter for this, so "Won't Fix" to mutter.
But the fix for gdm3 has landed and that's enough to resolve the bug.

Ubuntu boots to blank screen when using Nvidia drivers (on a desktop
with an unused Intel GPU).
WORKAROUNDS (you only need one):
* Uncomment #WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
* Disable integrated graphics/GPU in your BIOS
* Add 'nomodeset' to your kernel cmdline in /etc/default/grub and then
run: sudo update-initramfs
and reboot.
* Add a line to /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules:
DRIVER=="nvidia", RUN+="/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-disable-wayland"
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
This bug is very similar to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1559576
which is closed. I have been asked to open a new bug report.
The issue is on Ubuntu 17.10 with gdm3 fully updated as of July 20,
2017. I upgraded to 17.10 from a freshly installed Ubuntu 17.04.
- Lightdm works
- Nouveau driver works
- Nvidia driver 375.66 (proprietary) does not work
- Nvidia driver 384.47 (open source) does not work (from
https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa)
- Nvidia drivers work with Ubuntu Gnome 17.04
I am using Nvidia GTX 1080 and Intel i7-4790K
