Meanwhile, I followed some suggestions on this forum topic:
- delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf (it didn’t exist for me)
- make sure nvidia-prime is installed (
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-prime)- switch to nvidia (
sudo prime-select nvidia)- remove stray blacklist files (sudo rm /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf)
- update the initrd (
sudo update-initramfs -u)- reboot
plus changed options nvidia-drm modeset=1 to options nvidia-drm modeset=0 in /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf.
Also added the kernel parameters acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Windows\ 2009
The system did not stick in the black screen at boot and nvidia-smi produces a sensible output:

However, nvidia-settings shows an empty window and the system still does not recognize my main display device.
Here I generated a new bug report: nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (343.4 KB)
