Do you have a source for that. All the sources I've seen say it works, if you set nvidia-drm.modeset=1

> If you have monitors with different DPI there is no way to make them work correctly on X11. This is a problem about how X is designed, in an era where you didn't have HiDPI screens. Also if you have a laptop and you have to connect to a projector you don't want to spend 20 minutes thinkering around with the Xorg config while the other people at the meating with their Macbooks laught at you.
I'm not sure what you're doing i guess you're just repeating something you read 15 years ago. I haven't had to edit an xorg file in at least that long and I'm using Linux as my daily driver. Plugging in a projector also works (both wayland and xorg), what was causing problems were the scaling of some programs if you dragged from a hidpi to the projector, but then just restarting the app would also fix this (and this has been fixed for quite a while). As a side note I've seen lots of issues from mac users, funnily if that happens mac users almost always blame it on the projector, it's never the fault of the mac.
