Laptop boot into black screen and cannot show dm.

I managered intel and nvidia gpu driver with optimus manager qt for several months.

I accidentally ran the “nvidia-modprobe” today .

  nvidia-modprobe

Then I noticed that used [optimus manager qt] to switch "integrated " would cause black screen.
Then I type

  optimus-manager --switch integrated

,
the result was still black screen . Unexpected I cannot boot into GUI with optimus manager （integrated, nvidia, hybrid,）

Then I try to remove optimus manager and optimus manager-qt the result was still black screen.

then I try to edit xorg.conf.d file:delete 10-optimus-manager.conf and try (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#M … figuration)

 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-headless.conf
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "dummy_monitor"
        HorizSync 28.0-80.0
        VertRefresh 48.0-75.0
        Modeline "1920x1080" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "dummy_card"
        VideoRam 256000
        Driver "dummy"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "dummy_screen"
        Device "dummy_card"
        Monitor "dummy_monitor"
        SubSection "Display"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

didnot matter.

now my X11 folder:

 X11

│   └── xinitrc.d

│       └── 50-systemd-user.sh

I am a newbie and cannot know more.
How should I solve this problem？

Post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and

sudo journalctl -b
systemctl status optimus-manager

And remove that xorg conf beforehand, you don't want and don't have a headless configuration.
