Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem on my system, running the 435 driver in 19.10.
What I don't see on my system is the following error from logind: Oct 02 21:53:45 magni /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1220]: (EE) Error systemd-logind returned paused fd for drm node Compare this from Martin's journald log: Oct 02 21:53:45 magni /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1220]: (II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0) ...
