    Do you have nvidia_drm.modeset=1 applied in your kernel parameters?

    I recently switched to an Nvidia card (I know I know, blame Plex they only support hardware encoding in Nvidia on Linux) and I had the same or a similar issue until I added the nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to the kernel boot parameters.

    Make sure you do it via boot parameters and not mod probe because:

    the following option has to be added to the kernel command line in your boot files. Note that this specific parameter will have not have the correct effect if set in a file under /etc/modprobe.d, even if it’s included in the initramfs.
