And I only saw your feedback after I put my last comment in... :O

The lspci -k command run from artful shows this:

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev ff)
        Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_387_drm, nvidia_387

I've got all those blacklisted though in /etc/modprobe.d/, and "lsmod|grep nvidia" and lsmod|grep nouveau" both return an empty string. (The configuration is pretty much the same in bionic as in artful.)

I can't disable the discrete GPU in my BIOS, btw. bumblebee works fine in artful, though, turning off and hiding the nvidia card from gnome-shell, and primus runs an X session using the nvidia card quite happily from within gnome-shell, both under Wayland and X.

I guess I should go back to bionic and blacklist nouveau as well as re-remove the nvidia driver and try again? Perhaps nouveau was being loaded when I tried last time.
