Description:
After upgrading to nvidia-dkms 440.59, first of my X startup xrandr commands had no effect after X and SDDM launched. Then after login, the whole desktop had graphical glitches everywhere, DPI wasn't correctly set (since the xrandr command had failed), and my HDMI display wasn't recognised so that Plasma generated a new desktop configuration for it. linux 5.5.1 looked alright tho.

Additional info:
* package version(s): nvidia-dkms 440.59-1, linux-zen 5.5.1.zen1-1
* Not sure whether it's related but I've got a multi-display setup. I've attached my xrandr script which is executed via SDDM DisplayCommand

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install linux-zen nvidia-dkms and the Plasma DE
   xrandr_custom.sh (1.4 KiB)
This task depends upon
