Hi Jonathan, I maintain both the nvidia packages and nvidia-prime. What nvidia-prime does is provide a way to use hybrid graphics (Intel+NVIDIA) in Ubuntu. While I don't recall dropping he alternate dependency on sddm (which is entirely possible that I did), maybe sddm doesn't really work with nvidia-prime. If you want hybrid graphics to work (as it does in Ubuntu), you'll need support for something like the following stanzas from lightdm: display-setup-script=/sbin/prime-offload display-stopped-script=/sbin/prime-switch The first line is executed after X starts, whereas the second line is executed after stopping X (and before starting a new one). Does sddm support that? I should also modify the relevant upstart job in ubuntu-drivers-common (the systemd unit already works).
