If you want to use displays connected to the eGPU, you're out of luck.
Once Xorg has initialized a driver for a GPU, there's no way to unload
it until Xorg shuts down.
Otherwise, you can prevent Xorg from using the eGPU directly via
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddGPU" "off"
EndSection
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Render offloading with DRI_PRIME still works via
DRI3.
