I recently just dual-booted Manjaro and Windows on my laptop and am having trouble connecting an external display. I was able to uninstall the hybrid drivers and just use the NVIDIA one which actually did work and my external display was working but since my laptop doesn’t have a MUX switch, my internal display just doesn’t work at all.
Right now, I currently have these drivers installed (I couldn’t attach a picture for some reason):
video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-470xx-prime
video-linux
video-modesetting
video-vesa
And I have options to install video-nvidia and video-nvidia-470xx. I’m not sure where to go from here because I can’t install those while the hybrid driver is active and if I disable that, my internal display won’t work. Is it because I’m also missing a proprietary AMD driver? I’m completely new to all this, so bear with me lol.
Welcome to the forum!
There are a few good reasons for that. Never post a picture of text; copy and paste the text instead.
No, there are only open source drivers available that are already provided by the kernel and are already installed.
Please post your system info as outlined here:
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Rather than providing the commercial reference of a computer or piece of hardware, it is usually better to directly ask the system to describe itself. On top of saving time to everyone, this also often provides more details, including something specific to the running system.
Below is a (not exhaustive) list of commands for retrieving system information.

video-vesa
That should not be installed and should be removed:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-vesa
The 470 series is a legacy driver for GKxxx “Kepler” GPUs. Since you have an RTX 3060, I would install the latest production driver series which is currently 515:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime
See Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro for reference
I uninstalled the video-vesa one, but when I tried to install the latest driver it said I ran into an error with the hybrid one. Would I uninstall the hybrid one then?
Error: config 'video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime' conflicts with config(s): video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-470xx-prime
You need to remove this one video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-470xx-prime

Wait so I ran sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime and it installed successfully, and that’s it? Or would I also need to go to NVIDIA’s website and install the production drivers (515) cause I can’t seem to find it.
no you dont need to go to nvidia site… check with mhwd -li what drivers you have installed
ethanic:
that’s it?
Well, you need to reboot afterward.
You just installed them
Apologies for the late reply (I was out of town and could not test it out), but it still doesn’t work. The monitor pops up under displays but I still don’t get a video output.

check your external display which input connection you have plugged in and then go to the menu of your external display and activate the matching one.
Yeah I enabled it in Display Configuration and played around with the settings with no success.
Never mind, I installed optimums-manager and it fixed itself.
