I run Slackware on a older MBP and to be fair it's a PITA. (the MBP not Slackware that's a joy)
I had a black screen until I disabled the NVIDIA driver and used the integrated gpu to get passed that and better battery life. That's the easy option. The other day I bought a mini display port adapter to use my projector only to discover that it runs from the Nvidia gpu. You will find how to fix your screen in the Debian wiki and get to choose which GPU you want to use and the various choices you can make. I couldn't see your specific Mac but the info from many earlier models is useful. The wiki is a bit of a mess so it can be quite confusing. Take a look at the Arch and Gentoo wikis as well.
This page has good info on the graphics situation and will give you a good overview.
