Public bug reported:

In XUbuntu 18.04 bionic, with the nvidia-driver-390, ony one user can use the 
nvidia driver at a time. 
A second user logged-in gets stuck at 640x480 and llvmpipe for OpenGL. 
Before the update around 11-12 March 2018, it was possible for multiple users 
to use the nvidia driver.
