I had the proprietary nvidia drivers installed in my Jessie machine when I decided to move to Stretch. During the upgrade process, there was a message that the open-source driver was compatible with my hardware now, and did I want to switch to the nouveau system. I always prefer open-source when it works and didn't know if the one I had would work with the new kernel, so I said sure, go ahead and upgrade. The upgrade went smoothly, but I got a message that my video drivers were now incompatible with my configuration and I should fix this by rebooting. So I rebooted (x started just fine) and opened Synaptic to see what packages were available, and Synaptic immediately crashed with a message that said my software was unconfigured and I should immediately run 'dpkg --configure -a'. So I did that and a big bunch of messages went by -- apparently every package installed in the upgrade needed configuration. In the middle of that huge bunch of messages (1500+ packages) I saw a message go by that one of the packages being configured was the nouveau nvidia driver. So, after that was done, I rebooted again just to make sure everything was okay. It wasn't. When I rebooted, the X server did not start. I got a command-line login though, so I did that (with my head tilted sideways; I have dual displays in portrait orientation side by side). I fixed it by going back to the proprietary drivers using 'apt-get install nvidia-detect' to get the script that detects what driver ought to be used, ran it, and it (correctly) told me to go get the proprietary driver. So I did 'apt-get install nvidia-driver' and it downloaded, and I rebooted again. This time X started but it had lost my video config so my head was still turned sideways until I fixed that (rotate both screens 90 degrees, put them side-by-side). I'm attaching the log that Xorg made on the failed attempt to start. It looks as though the problem was that the kernel module didn't start and therefore the nouveau driver didn't find any screens. I think this is the right bug to send this to; it sounds a whole lot like the problem I'm having, anyway. I'm running an AMD64 system with an Intel i7 processor and 64Gbytes memory. (The large memory has outed a few bugs in the past, but doesn't appear to be related to this.)
