Xorg.log with intel+nouveau drivers
I'm getting black output on HDMI-connected display driven by nVidia GeForce GT
525M (GF108M). Mouse cursor is visible on both built-in display and on the
external HDMI-connected display. This used to work on Fedora 27. I can see this
on Fedora 29, but I can't pinpoint which package update broke it because I
haven't checked the external display (a projector) for quite some time. This
machine is a Dell XPS 15 L502X with Intel HD3000 integrated graphics and nVidia
GeForce GT 525M discrete GPU in Optimus configuration. Here's my xorg.conf
snippet:

Switching both drivers to "modesetting" makes the issue go away. I'm attaching
Xorg logs for both configurations.
