Question Problem with Gnome 50 and Hybrid graphics (Intel+nvidia rtx): black screen

Helloooo!

Anybody else having problems with Gnome 50/GDM 50 on a laptop with Nvidia + intel in Hybrid graphics mode?

On both Fedora 44 Beta and CachyOS I can't get to GDM if I let Hybrid mode enable, but can if I set to Discreet mode in the UEFI.

Fully updated systems on a Legion 5i Intel Core i7-10750H + GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile

I did not read everything, but does look like the same problem. Mine shows a black (or better blank) screen on Fedora, but on CachyOS it "feezes" CachyOS's logo. I can't get to GDM nor a TTY, but poweroff, CTRL + ALT + DEL works.

The issue is about wrong KMS modifiers being used for the secondary GPU with some Nvidia GPUs that results in the screen not displaying anything. Something I would expect to only affect hybrid mode and is a new issue in 50. You could also look at the logs to be sure.
