I highly doubt that that is true.
Install the 'nvidia-detect' package and run it and it should tell you which 
driver is appropriate for your card. 
My guess is that it will tell you to install 'nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver'

Bug#797999: sddm fails to start whereas kdm works correctly

[Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer]

Those of you who have this problem please log in using kdm and then run:

LANG=C glxinfo | grep '^OpenGL version string: ' | head -n 1 | sed -e 
's/^OpenGL version string: \([0-9]\).*$/\1/g'

If the output is a number less than 2 install the following script in 
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/



This script is already part of Qt 5.6.0's packaging.

Those who get 2 or more might try exporting QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1 in a 
similar
script and see what happens. If it works, blame your video driver (and please
open a bug for it).

Whenever possible please give feedback to this bug.

Thanks!

Bug#797999: sddm fails to start whereas kdm works correctly

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Package: sddm
Version: 0.13.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #797999

Dear Maintainer,

I can confirm this, too.

It maybe, SDDM might work bad with nvidia. I am running testing/amd64, the
nvidia proprietrary drivers are installed by the installer from nvidia. As my
card is no more supperted by the debian packages (GeForce 8600M GS), I had to
do that way.

When sddm is started, I get a dark screen (looks like the X-Server is started,
but sddm shows no graphics).

The process sddm is running and can be killed by using killall sddm.

At the moment I reverted back to kdm, which is still working like a charm.

Hope this helps a little bit.

Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich

Are you by any chance running plymouth? If so, could this be a duplicate of

Unfortunately no. This is likely to be due to docking as I now have a 
half dozen boxes that work with sddm the only one that fails is a docked 
laptop.

No. It uses nvidia chipset with nvidia proprietary drivers like four 
others among the six  that are non docked were sddm correcly works.
