Description:
What was the reason that an intel OutputClass section has been added to nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf? The section prevents the intel DDX from being used when it is installed. It doesn't seem to be necessary / make any difference on my machine (desktop) / configuration. When X is started on the iGPU, via either the modesetting or intel DDX, only the onboard output ports are listed in xrandr. Only when I start X on the nvidia GPU (by adding `Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"` to the nvidia OutputClass section), all the output ports would be available.

In any case, shouldn't it be a "conf file" in /etc instead of /usr/share?


Additional info:
* package version(s) 410.57-2
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

You have to have it there, if you are using PRIME over nvidia, because the intel/modesetting driver is used as a relay to show the rendered nvidia image on the screen (the reason this rain dance is necessary is that your nvidia GPU is not physically connected to your laptop screen and it has to roundabout over your iGPU). Technically this is simply a dupe of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60102 just from the other view point
