"GL" is indeed what you need above.
You should get something like this:
HostBridge L#0
PCIBridge
PCI 10de:06d1
GPU L#0 ":0.0"
PCIBridge
PCI 10de:06d1
GPU L#1 ":0.3"
Once the NVIDIA driver is loaded and the X server is running, make sure
your application has access to the X server. If you're not running
lstopo from within the X server (I have never actually tested this
case), you may need things like "xhost +" and/or "chmod 666 /dev/nvidia*".
