Comment 27 for bug 1632322

This is not a duplicate. I just installed xserver-xorg-legacy. It did absolutely nothing. Still black screen. To clarify, this is a "monitor on, just displaying black" not a "monitor off/unable to start the xserver" issue. Xorg logs don't show anything weird. I've tried every permission setting from the xorg-legacy configure screen. No difference -- actually, if you set it to "Root Only", gdm never comes up and endlessly tries to restart, giving you a strobelight terminal, but that's irrelevant to this bug (probably?).

Honestly, the only reason I care is because I'm trying to test out Gnome-wayland on the Nvidia proprietary drivers, because I heard it works now. It seems I have to go through gdm to get the Gnome-Wayland session to work. If anyone has an alternate way of getting that to work, please pm me with the details because going this route seems to be a dead end. Thanks.
