Ok scratch that, I can reproduce - it's because of the non-glvnd
libraries. With the glvnd one there's no issue, and that's why 435
works - non-glvnd was removed.

Users with optimus/bumblebee should switch to 390xx, and users without
should switch to glvnd with:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-libs:i386

Andreas, I think the time has come to force primus-libs to use legacy
drivers only. What do you think?
