WIthout the Option "AllowExternalGpus" "True" being placed in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-discrete.conf during the generation process, X will fail to initialize the xserver stating the below:
15:14:39 pop-os /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[1176]: (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): This device is an external GPU, but external GPUs have not
Nov 04 15:14:39 pop-os /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[1176]: (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): been enabled with AllowExternalGpus. Disabling this device
Nov 04 15:14:39 pop-os /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[1176]: (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): to prevent crashes from accidental removal.
Nov 04 15:14:39 pop-os /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[1176]: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failing initialization of X screen

Any advice for an elegant solution for this sort of recompiling this from source to include it in the src/graphics.rc file would be appricated.
