Ubuntu 18.10 Hybrid Graphics Dual Monitor issue
I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my Asus ROG GU501GM laptop and it was working fine with my external HDMI monitor with nvidia enabled in prime-select.
Today, I selected prime-select Intel and rebooted because I wanted some more time to do some work without the laptop plugged in. I got about 3 hrs worth of work done, which I was impressed!
However, I ran nvidia-select nvidia and rebooted with my external HDMI monitor plugged in but now it doesn't work. Only the laptop display is working.
The nvidia card is working as I can see from nvidia-smi and glxinfo, but no HDMI output.
Here are some things I tried:
- reinstalled driver - didnt work
- reset BIOS - didnt work
- unplugged HDMI and replugged - didnt work
Any ideas how to get the external monitor working in using HDMI?

Please provide the output of those commands by editing your question using Markdown. Alsoubuntu-drivers listmaybe show you other driver that works well with GDM3.

Ok found the issue...
GDM3 is not compatible with nvidia-prime. After testing and testing and going to nvidia-dev forums, most people with this issue install lightdm and the problem is fixed.
Apperently, there is a bug in GDM3 and nvidia-prime or something like that. In either case, its fixed using lightdm
Thanks for the reply!
