in the login screen switch to x11
Done.

I also see the device in display settings. But I still can’t get it working:
@brahma Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed from here? I guess my last option is to uninstall the Nvidia drivers… The external display worked fine when I first connected, I believe I had free.
i still dont know if you have uninstalled optimus-manager?
all right and output from:
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf" 4 ✘
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
so uninstall the hybrid drivers and see if that helps:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime
reboot
No improvements. See the results after reboot:

create a new user, and test with it if you can detect the monitor, so that we can check if its some config in home folder
why are you still on Wayland ? It does not work properly with nvidia-prime !
Creating and using a new user did not work.
@Olli
Sorry. I see Xwayland, but the session is X11 I think - at least that’s what which is selected.
go to system settings/compositor and uncheck enable on startup, click, apply and reboot
please post the output of
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
then we’ll see what session you’re on
and also post the output of
glxinfo | grep server
and
prime-run glxinfo | grep server

prime-run not installed. Want me to do so?
yes do it, it can’t get more worse than it is now.
btw. do you think you’re confident enough to install the nvidia-non free driver back ?

Yeah. I don’t mind doing the old drivers if I get to use an external display.
well okay let me explain the next steps before starting. first we need the non-free driver installed. in this case prime should run but you will be still on the igpu and not the nvidia, so in this case the external screen is still not recogniced. after succesful first step you’ll install optimus, but only if step one is succesfull. please install the non-free driver first and we’ll check it before ongoing.

Are we ready for step 2; installing optimus?
fingers crossed but let’s check it first. please post the output of
inxi -Gy1
and after we’ll check the 2 previous checks of glxinfo again. please post the output
