This is why I constantly tell people to slow down. The log you just posted
hits on multiple topics in one single braindump.
To break it down into 3 topics...
First, Go back to nvidia-390, there was never a reason to downgrade.
Second, boot errors about a VGA console are normal. The Nvidia module
complains, but it is a meaningless error and can be ignored.
Third, I don't think you ever told us what exactly you are trying to do with
your multi-monitor config. I remember a lot of confusion and chaos about
getting X started and using xorg.config files in your home directory (which does
not work, X doesn't load config files from $HOME..).
Since your driver packages are now FUBAR, run the following steps to get back
to a working display:
- Uninstall any nvidia driver packages on your system
Do I run nvidia-switch --remove, slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy340-driver
... (both driver and kernel), or all of the above?
And, do I need to restart at run level 3 to do these?
- reinstall the base distribution packages that were overwritten
slackpkg reinstall xorg-server libdrm mesa
- Make sure you DON'T have a file named /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- delete the nouveau blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d/
- reboot
After you reset back to the sane defaults, you can explain to us what it is
you are trying to do and maybe someone can advise a path forward.
I'll give that a shot when time permits, possibly tomorrow.
Thanks!
