Leander, that seems to be just the ticket!
Looks like that's solved the issue at first sniff, but I'll have more time
to poke around tomorrow and make sure it's all happy.
Thanks again, and I'll post back when I've had more time to run it through
its paces.

Invidia-xconfig created the config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf though, however
when I went to grab that it appears startx and sddm are now failing to load
at all.
Not sure if that's something I've done, or the latest patches so I'll
reinstall and to get us back to a known config, and then install the

Is it using an unsupported (by your monitor) screen mode, and the
monitor is simply blanking

One other small test.
When you boot and get the blank screen. If you do "Ctrl-Alt-F2" and then login

Typing my password in logs in fine, so it's definitely something stopping
sddm from displaying the screen, rather than a total failure.
I do have those options set at boot, I posted before and after I installed
the nVidia drivers, so i probably caused some confusion there.

I'll do both as soon as I can find my USB to Ethernet adapter as the laptop
doesn't have an Ethernet port built in. It's on my desk, but right now so

Should be able to dig it out tomorrow and get these done.
Thanks for your help so far.

FWIW, for completeness After the system is booted these are the processes
running associated with sddm.

I prefer to use "journalctl" to extract log information.
Hello Ed,
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried with LightDM, which gave the same black
screen, with the following in /var/log/messages, not sure why it's trying
to talk to PulseAudio?

I installed the drivers using the below. Problem is the same, black screen
on boot, but you can shift to another terminal and startx. The nVidia
control panel shows the driver loaded and reports OK.

Are you sure? Manufacturers change
I'll try and get a few hours next weekend to put together some proper
diagnostics. Was hoping someone had already tried with the laptop, the
motherboard and graphics sre the same across all the latest XPS 15s, so if
it's been done on one it should be done on them all.
No matter, I'll rebuild it

Not sure, but it works fine up until the nVidia drivers are installed. It
does have dual nVidia/Intel graphics, so I'm wondering if it's having
trouble switching them over. No smoking gun though, this is just the errors
I see when it tanks.
When I get some more time I'll have another look, was

Digging in a bit it appears to be something going on between SDDM, the
nVidia drivers and ACPI. I don't have the time to go much further right now
so I'll run it with the Nouveau drivers until Dell release the Developer
edition and see how they do it! :)

Hello all,
I'm trying to install the KDE spin on a Dell XPS 15 and I can't seem to get
the nVidia drivers to install.
I installed via a USB stick, and I had to add the dis_ucode_ldr switch to
the boot options to get it to load and change to ACIP rather than RAID for
the drive, but it installed
