I haven't had gdm display anything for the last several kernel updates , but I'm not convinced the kernel is at fault as older ones stopped gdm from working too.
GDM *thinks* it is working - `journalctl -u gdm` is where you can find the Xorg log output these days - but the vterm is black. Lightdm and sddm display, though poorly, and neither produce a working gnome session.
No one thing I've poked at so far appeared to be the cause, so I haven't complained. Good to know it is not just me ;)
