I can’t move the mouse to the second monitor
I can’t see the menu bar on the bottom of the first monitor
The following is my configuration:

What do you think @brahma ?
Thanks @bogdancovaciu , before I having this issue I had one external HDMI 27 inches monitor.
you can create the file in x11 as is mentioned in the bogdans link:sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "nvidia"
MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
save the file with ctrl+xsudo mkinitcpio -P
Done.
[FAILED] Failed to start Light Display Manager
so you stuck at black screen?
Sorry my bad, there was a typo in .conf file. Now it boots but it does not solve the problem.
so remove the file with:sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.confsudo mkinitcpio -P
post also output from:xrandr -q
ok!

Now I can only work on DP-1-1 and I can see HDMI-0. I do not use DP-0 because the lid of my laptop is closed.
and in system settings/ display and monitor, are there some options to set up your screens as you desire?
Yes I can choose resolution, scale, rotation, etc.
The mouse does not move to the second monitor. So I can use only the first.
I can’t see the LDM menu bar that normally it is on the bottom of the screen
check this link , maybe it will be helpfull
OK! I just needed to arrange the monitor one beside the other and now it is working.
