Laptops are almost always wired with only the Intel GPU connected to the LCD. If there is an Nvidia GPU then it is not connected to the screen; it only shares rendered frames with the Intel GPU via system memory. This allows the Nvidia GPU to be completely turned off without losing the screen or needing to change drivers.
And the Intel driver absolutely requires modesetting to work (hence no 'nomodeset'), because that is the only mode of operation supported by the Intel driver (unless you want 1024x768 and software rendering). Yes, I think Escape is edge triggered only. It's not a modifier key like Shift is. But also yes I only use UEFI so maybe legacy BIOS modes still support Shift. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830000 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1830000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
