Nvidia driver isn't compatible with simpledrm so boot output and TTYs are blank

Great, thanks for verifying! I’m going to go ahead with this fix for the upcoming 580 release.

@aplattner

• Fixed a bug that caused blank or frozen screens under the following conditions: nvidia-drm is loaded with the modeset=1 and fbdev=1 parameters, using a Maxwell or Pascal series GPU, and more than one display device of differing resolutions are connected.

nVidia internal tracking Bug #4157529

As stated, and per the 580.65.06 Beta release notes…

I can confirm this is indeed resolved at long last!

Behavior is now in exact parity with that of the nouveau driver.

Marking this issue as SOLVED.

I will update my overall tracking thread with this info as well.

Thanks so much for showing us Pascal folks some love at the end of the line driver-wise. Much appreciated!

As I’m not the OP here on this aged thread… @blucobalt if you’re still hanging around please do test and mark solved.
