    Device "DiscreteNvidia"
EndSection

Also refer to https://bugs.debian.org/756522 for a brief explanation.

or "nvidia_frontend_open: minor 0, module->open() failed, error -5" on Linux
>= 3.10 and < 3.19, either stick with an older kernel version (<= 3.9) or
upgrade to > 3.19, or add rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1 to your grub command line
(in /etc/default/grub, then run update-grub and reboot) as a workaround.
