[Bug 1832903] Re: 18.04.2 login screen doesn't work if it uses 'wayland' and if video kernel driver is 'vgwfx' kernel driver

Only when using v4.15, if I use the hwe kernel 4.18 on Bionic it passes.

I have strong belief this kernel fix to be a potential good candidate,
but I need to run a bisection to confirm my assumption :

drm/vmwgfx: Fix black screen and device errors when running without
fbdev

When we are running without fbdev, transitioning from the login screen to
X or gnome-shell/wayland will cause a vt switch and the driver will disable
svga mode, losing all modesetting resources. However, the kms atomic state
does not reflect that and may think that a crtc is still turned on, which
will cause device errors when we try to bind an fb to the crtc, and the
screen will remain black.

Fix this by turning off all kms resources before disabling svga
mode.

   Login screen never appears on vmwgfx but setting WaylandEnable=false fixes it

[Bug 1832903] Re: 18.04.2 login screen doesn't work if it uses 'wayland' and if video kernel driver is 'vgwfx' kernel driver

I was able to reproduce the problem with 4.15.0-51, but problem seems to
be gone using the hwe kernel 4.18.0-21-generic.

I'll do a kernel bisection and try to find the commit which fixes the situation.
I'll also ask another impacted user to confirm if v4.18 works fine too, to 
double-check my testing.
