Good news from my side; I just updated everything on th ThinkPad W520, an
old Optimus laptop. the Uubntu 17.10 desktop now works with hybrid
graphics, prime sync and gdm3 using the latest updates (pre-release
channel). I have not added any PPAs so it's using the 375 driver currently
in the 17.10 re
Thanks Doug, that bug report is exactly as the nvidia forum so you and I
are doing the same thing.

HI Doug, it could be hardware dependent although my two Optimus laptops are
very mainstream (both Quadro). It's more likely to be configuration (I hope)
How do you achieve modeset=1? How do you confirm that you have Prime Sync
working? I use xrandr --verbose | grep PRIME

Thanks, I look forward to it. It works with lightdm, though. What is GDM
doing that leads to a kernel panic, that lightdm does not do?

That;s even worse. I don't any working screen, no login.
This is not a trivial bug, I think, although I'd be happy for an easy
solution.

The problem is that Optimus (Nvidia's hybrid driver technology) requires
modeset=1 to use it properly so there are millions of laptop users who will
have a problem with this :)

Plus it works fine with lightdm.
