Note 2 : I have an RTX 2060 Mobile if that can help

Fixed it by creating the following file : /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config with the content : needs_root_rights = yes

This worked for me. Thanks!

I think this has something to do with rootless xorg mode used by gdm by default. SDDM still uses xorg in root for now so its unaffected.

Closing this issue since it is a corner case and it got added to the wiki here
