No, the display is not blank. The login screen is displayed. It's enough to hover over the top right login menu to crash it.
I have no issues, when the laptop is used without external monitors. I can live with that for a bit, but hope for help to get my developer environment back working.bad banana <bad.banana@xxxxxxxxxxx> schrieb am So., 6. Mai 2018 um 11:16 Uhr:
maybe, like in my case, the external monitor is being used as an extension of your built-in LCD display? so it appears blank.
my Cinnamon crashes after i login but thankfully it restarts fine. never checked further as i switched to KDE Plasma due to some other reasons.

Subject: F28: gnome-shell crashes when using external displaysHi,
I upgraded to Fedora 28 two days ago (May 2nd). My laptop usually is mounted to a docking station with two Dell displays attached.
Since this morning I cannot start a gnome session anymore. After login the shell crashes gets back to GDM. In fact it's enough to hover over the top right drop down menu to crash GDM.
Also interesting: no fonts are displayed when using external monitors.
If I restart the machine without external monitors, everything works flawlessly.
journalctl reveals the following messages (there's also a core dump, which I omit for brevity):

This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Sliced texture size of 16 x 16 not possible with max waste set to -1
Mai 04 11:00:15 4delsthubner02 systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 3049/UID 0).
What's going on here?
Best,
