I just found out about this. I wanted to get rid of the screen tearing that I observed on my Nitro AN515-53 laptop running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile GPU.
I used https://askubuntu.com/a/1111020 and set nvidia_drm modeset=1 but then my external monitors didn't work after the reboot. So I switched from gdm3 to lightdm and that does the trick for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706474 Title: gdm3 nvidia modeset=1 is broken, external screens don't work on a Thinkpad p50 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1706474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
