xorg fails to load nvidia driver on switching to greeter / black screen blinking cursor with lightdm light-locker |

System:
- Xubuntu 18.04.4, signle seat, single monitor
- NVidia 1050ti driver 435.21
- lightdm 1.26.0
- slick-greeter
Scenario 1: No xorg.conf. I use 'light-locker-command --lock' or 'dm-tool --lock' or 'dm-tool switch-to-greeter', screen goes black with blinking cursor at top left corner. No keyboard response, only power reset helps.
Scenario 2: xorg.conf generated with nvidia tool. After attempting to lock screen same blinking cursor appears, but now if I press Alt-F7 it stops blinking, then Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, sudo systemctl restart lightdm and it's alive and loginable again.
In the lightdm.log I see repeating sequence (approx 5 times a second):
[+61.67s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Creating greeter session

In my case solution was to add following to xorg.conf to make Xorg load proper nvidia driver:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg/"
EndSection
I'm not sure which package is responsible for that configuration and how it is done within modern approach, but I think things like this must be done automatically by one of nvidia drivers package (xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-435 for example).

In my case solution was to add following to xorg.conf to make Xorg load proper nvidia driver:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg/"
EndSection
I'm not sure which package is responsible for that configuration and how it is done within modern approach, but I think things like this must be done automatically by one of nvidia drivers packages (xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-435 for example).

System:
- Xubuntu 18.04.4, signle seat, single monitor
- NVidia 1050ti driver 435.21
- lightdm 1.26.0
- slick-greeter
Scenario 1: No xorg.conf. I use 'light-locker-command --lock' or 'dm-tool --lock' or 'dm-tool switch-to-greeter', screen goes black with blinking cursor at top left corner. No keyboard response, only power reset helps.
Scenario 2: xorg.conf generated with nvidia tool. After attempting to lock screen same blinking cursor appears, but now if I press Alt-F7 it stops blinking, then Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, sudo systemctl restart lightdm and it's alive and loginable again.
In the lightdm.log I see repeating sequence (approx 5 times a second):
