Description: On upgrading nvidia-prime from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4, gdm fails to start.


Additional info:
* nvidia-prime 1.0.4, nvidia-utils 450.57-2, nvidia 450.57-1, xorg-server 1.20.8-2, gdm 3.36.2-1, Linux 5.7.7-arch1-1 x86_64
* http://ix.io/2rvQ (where it says "No enabled display devices found"), http://ix.io/2rw0 (xorg.conf, generated by X -configure), http://ix.io/2rvS (output of nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info)
* downgrading to 1.0.3 makes it work just fine, the issue just cropped up after upgrading to 1.0.4

Steps to reproduce:
* upgrade nvidia-prime from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4

Ok, let's tackle this in steps:
1) You aren't supposed to use a xorg configuration with prime render offload
2) It seems from your X log that you're using reverse prime, instead of render offload
3) The AllowGPUScreen option is now present on the driver and Xorg, so it's not necessary anymore

If you plan on using reverse prime, I suggest you remove nvidia-prime, at all. You don't need the prime-run script as well, because everything is run on the nvidia card.
