After failing to get Bumblebee to work with my External Monitor (xrandr didn’t “see” it), I reinstalled Debian. In a Nvidia Dev Forum tread (don’t find it atm) installing the 384 was recommended. With this setup i got nvidia to work on my external monitor with X. I am using gdm3 as a display Manager. Booting without my Monitor would result X in crashing with (EE) Screen not found.
Reversing this setting by commenting the WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf would allow my to start Gnome(Wayland) on my Laptop Display.
Now starting with wayland results in a loop at Boot.
How do I get Nvidia to recognize my 2 Screens?
