I have a system with 3060 and 1660 both connected to same display via different hdmi ports, i would like to switch to 1660 for display tasks and leave 3060 for cuda like here,
The following is xorg.conf and /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf i changed after reading the above link. the following file works i can get display on 3060

but when i change the screen section to device1 for switching, the screen successfully switches to other gpu and hdmi port and i can see the login screen and can enter the password too, but after pressing enter after kde logo and gear wheel the display goes blank/black and the display starts displaying no signal.
I think my file is missing some config. please help.
