Public bug reported: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau used to work perfectly. Then I attached a 2nd monitor and adjusted the settings (successfully, as I thought), but the next boot was to a black screen. I can only boot in recovery mode, and cannot access high resolution (1600 x 900).
I gave up on the 2nd monitor, uninstalled and re-installed xserver-xorg- video-nouveau, then installed (and removed) in turn the three proprietary nvidia drivers, none of which worked. They are now purged, and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau reinstalled. I've looked for solutions on the web, but I'm at a complete loss. Thanks for any help you can give.
