GDM login fails while startx works

I'm using Nvidia (470xx) drivers, recently a general upgrade caused logins going to gnome-session to "hang" in a blank screen followed by kickback to GDM.

I tried using a different session type to no avail. I tried switching to lightdm to see if it helps, but it also fails.

Oddly enough using .xinitrc with just `exec gnome-session` and `startx` works no problems.

Looking at journalctl I don't see any errors in gdm or lightdm apart from sessions ending abruptly. I don't see any obvious errors but I'm not sure what I should be looking for here.

Any advice to debug further?
