Unable to connect HDMI monitor - Intel 13700HX with Nvidia 4060

I read through similar posts in the past and tried the suggestions but I have been unable to get the HDMI monitor detected.

Manjaro settings manager to show video-nvidia was force installed (as one of the things to try)

mhwd -li                                                                                                                                                   ✔

Hello @itreek :wink:

  1. You run wayland, not pure xorg:

Nvidia is not entily compatible with wayland → experimental.

  1. The video-nvdia config sets configurations for xorg. Thus makes no sense on wayland.

  2. Driver is not loaded correctly:

What error was there in mhwd? Mostly like a dependency error: EOL kernel, packages which depend on the nvidia driver.

Thanks for jumping in @megavolt

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Should I be disabling wayland in /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

How do I see the error? Right now mhwd seems to work

I am willing to start afresh too - this is a new laptop and I can quickly reinstall Manjaro if I can figure out the right sequence of steps to enable my HDMI

Choose it on the login-screen.

You posted a picture. The little window has text. No error was visible.

This had a simpler solution :face_holding_back_tears:
I reinstalled Manjaro and chose “Install proprietary drivers” - lo and behold the nvidia drivers got installed and my monitor is now connected!

Thanks for the support! Please close the thread!
