Bug Description
Hybrid laptop with an NVidia 960M video card boots to a black SDDM screen when the NVidia card enabled (using the NVidia 384 and 390.xx drivers). Nouveau drivers fail to boot.
Switching to Intel drivers (sudo prime-select intel), SDDM loads/runs just fine.
Removing the "quiet" option from grub boot shows Simple Display Manager starting without error when NVidia is enabled. Unsure how to provide additional useful information.
Ctrl-Alt-f1, logging in via the terminal, and startx enables normal desktop use.

I am affected by exactly the same problem, sddm is just a black screen and I have to switch to tty1 in order to start the Xorg session.
I am using nvidia-184 driver package and my gpu is a nvidia gtx 1050ti
