Hi there
I registered a query on the old forum re my dual display not working in Manjaro, although it worked fine in Mint
The advice then was to wait for new nVIDIA 450xx hybrid drivers
Have just installed and rebooted and confirmed they are installed via MHWD
Sadly dual monitor still not recognised
Grateful for some pointers please as I miss having this resource in this version of Linux
Cheers

Should add I have a HP Omen Elite Gaming Laptop connected to a Dell Monitor via HDMI through a Toshiba Dynadock 3.0 docking station
Tried following after Googling:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --auto --output HDMI-1 --auto --above eDP-1
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto
xrandr has following output that shows my HDMI is disconnected even though it was fine in Mint and still works in Windoze:

NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE

video-linux 2018.05.04 true PCI
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime 2019.10.25 false PCI
Warning: No installed USB configs!
Could it be to do with the fact that my laptop connects to the dock via a USB 3 connection?
Hello,
Remove video-modesetting and reinstall video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime then reboot.
Thanks for the quick reply. Any chance you could advise re actual scripts so I can paste please
sudo mhwd -r pci video-modesetting
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime
systemctl reboot
Thanks on running first command got:
Error: config ‘video-modesetting’ is required by config(s): video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime
I ran both commands, ignoring first error message and rebooted.
Unfortunately did not change anything
Ah, ok. Then i understood it backwards. So, you keep the video-modesetting but remove video-linux and then reinstall the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime
You should be able to do that even from TTY.
Thanks again for your quick advice
Followed through both commands but regrettably the issue remains
:o(
So, what you did when this was suggested in the archived forum?
Ok will do. The hybrid laptop was identified previously in July when I had 440 driver. i was told the 450 would resolve. So do I try optimus now?
Hi. So what do I do next then?
Did you try to connect it without the dock? Maybe the issue is with the dock and not the display.
Thanks. Just to clarify the issue only appeared when I moved to Manjaro. Other linux distros have worked straight away and Windoze still works as well. My dock has an ethernet connection and multimedia etc. It is a deal breaker for me that I must be able to use my dock. If there are Manjaro drivers for the dock I need to install please advise. Thanks again R
Yeah but just try to test it so we know what the culpript is. If Manjaro detects the display when you connect it directly then it might be the dock, and we can focus our efforts on that. I too have a laptop, it’s quite old so it has a VGA output, and Manjaro picks it up no problem.
Ok understood. I connected the HDMI cable directly to the laptop, bypassing the dock. The second monitor displayed fine in Windows but again, not in linux. Aside from the monitor issue, the dock otherwise works in linux in terms of access to ethernet connection, printer and speakers.
HI Grateful for some more advice just to have one last stab at this before I chuck the towel in on Manjaro and move on to another distro that easily recognises dual display…
Looks like no takers after nearly 3 weeks. Very disappointing. Had high hopes
I don’t have a working HP machine (several HP scraptops though) and no dock so can’t offer specific advice, but on my machine (a Lenovo T440), also running Manjaro KDE, with my mate’s TV I connect the leads, select the input and then have to power-cycle the TV before it is picked up by the system. Works fine after that, until next time.
This might not be much use but thought I’d post just in case.
