Some may remember my last post for Fedora 19 and the same issue. I decided to start a new thread since a lot of time, driver versions, and 2 fedora releases have passed but still has yet to be resolved.
PROBLEM: After installing the NVIDIA drivers, the machine will boot with plymouth just fine, but then it switches to a black screen. Apparently the gnome-session is active because I can blindly log-in and issue terminal commands to restart the machine or redirect terminal output to files; I just can’t see anything while doing it.
The Xorg log confirms that the card is connected to DFP-0 (I had to manually dump / provide the EDID); however, if I check xrandr it says that HDMI-0 is connected. If you look at my .xsession I try to set both displays to off before letting xrandr --auto take over.
Any thoughts or help? I really do not want to resort back to Bumblebee and I do not have a BIOS option to disable the intel card.
