Alienware m16 R2: cannot get xorg to work with egpu screen

Hi, I recently bought a new laptop -- Alienware m16 R2 with Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 4070 Max-Q -- but can't get xorg server to work with egpu. I'm trying to use egpu-switcher, which worked with my old laptop, but after configuring and enabling it, xorg server fails with "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration" on boot. I also tried disabling modeset via egpu config yaml, the output is different but the error is the same. Here're Xorg.0.log without and with nomodeset enabled:

egpu service switches fine:

Sep 25 20:14:53 AlexArch systemd[1]: Starting EGPU Service...
Sep 25 20:14:53 AlexArch egpu-switcher[873]: [info] looking for eGPU...
Sep 25 20:14:54 AlexArch egpu-switcher[873]: [info] the egpu is connected
Sep 25 20:14:54 AlexArch egpu-switcher[873]: [info] egpu has been added to X.Org config
Sep 25 20:14:54 AlexArch egpu-switcher[873]: [ok] switch completed
Sep 25 20:14:54 AlexArch systemd[1]: egpu.service: Deactivated successfully.
Sep 25 20:14:54 AlexArch systemd[1]: Finished EGPU Service.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
