Description

The OS in my laptop is Archlinux with lightdm on Xorg. After upgrade the system, the i3-wm have problem to start. After start, the screen turn to black and the mouse icon disappeared. And I can't even turn to tty with Ctrl + Alt + Fn, (In fact I think it has worked, because after Ctrl + Alt + Fn and Ctrl + Alt + Delete, my laptop reboot.). I thought it may be some problem with my nvidia driver, because the gnome DE also crashed. But the problem exists after I downgrade nvidia driver to version 435.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check i3wm startup logs and Xorg logs. Verify Nvidia driver version compatibility with i3wm. Inspect .xsession errors and i3 config for misconfigurations.
