error with hardware.nvidia.open (dell xps 15 7590)

[eg-ayoub]

on my xps laptop using this flake:

      # 2 - mouse : (laptop) Tiling WM + dev tools
      mouse = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        specialArgs = { inherit inputs system; };

        modules = [
          ./hosts/mouse/configuration.nix
          nixos-hardware.nixosModules.dell-xps-15-7590-nvidia
        ];
      };

in configuration.nix I have: hardware.nvidia.prime.offload.enable = true;

nixos rebuild fails with

$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#mouse --option eval-cache false

I assumed this option is set automatically by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/os-specific/linux/nvidia-x11/default.nix am I wrong ? thanks for your help in advance :)

It was an intentional breaking change https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/337289#issuecomment-2314851863 there will need to be some changes to fix it and figure out if it should be turned on for your gpu

@BCNelson thanks! I'll make a PR by tomorrow. If 560 works on my machine would it be acceptable to set hardware.nvidia.open = true; for xps15-7590 ?

I'm not sure about the specifics. But I do know that it defaulted to false before
