Thanks! I've been running it myself on my machines for a few days and
haven't found issues.

Change /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf as such:

-install nvidia-drm modprobe nvidia-current-modeset ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-drm $CMDLINE_OPTS
+install nvidia-drm modprobe nvidia-current-modeset ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-drm modeset=1 $CMDLINE_OPTS

But note that it seems broken at the moment, as far as I can see. See my
message here:

Anyway

nvidia_drm is the internal name. The modprobe alias is nvidia-drm, which
aliases the file name nvidia-current-drm.

Kind regards,
