Dear Maintainer,
the package has different outputs for the same hardware on Debian Bookworm and
Trixie

The result on Bookworm ( nvidia-xconfig version 535.171.04) is correct: it
takes into account multiple video cards
and enables HDMI outputs to work.
The result on Trixie (version 550.163.01), on the other hand, causes Xorg to
fail and clearly fails
to achieve the purpose for which it was executed.

The instructions followed are according to the manual:
https://wiki.debian.org/NVIDIA%20Optimus#Using_NVIDIA_PRIME_Render_Offload

To disable the incorrect configuration the xorg.conf  must be renamed.
Using the configuration created by Bookworm on Trixie solves the problem.

I am attaching the two configurations.

Thank you,
Riccardo
