External monitor no longer appears as an output device

At face value, I might suggest reversing that decision, especially as there was no issue with the 575xx driver series (as your inxi output demonstrates).

Remaining with kernel 6.18 (LTS) is suggested if that combination was working for you.

So far that’s what I’ve done. I’m happy to keep using my system as is, except for the fact that my other packages are going to start falling out of date. It was my understanding that updating some but not all packages isn’t really a supported or intended use case; hence:

I tried holding back all of the nvidia updates using IgnorePkg and running the rest, unfortunately (but unsurprisingly) that left me with a system that didn’t display anything on either screen.

Unless there’s a different way I’m missing that I should use to update everything else but remain on nvidia-575xx.

Regarding the solution posted in https://forum.manjaro.org/t/mobile-gtx-1070-hdmi-monitor-not-detected-with-580xx-drivers - I already had this, so no chance of it being my fix:

# cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
