Unrelated problem, just nasty to have two big ones at the same time.

Confirmed.

What about the following /etc/nvidia/current/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

---------------------------------------------------
Section "Files"
    ModulePath     "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux"
    ModulePath     "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    MatchDriver    "nvidia-drm"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection
---------------------------------------------------

That seems to work for stable ... what about sid?
