On my other laptop I had the same problem as described here I don’t use this driver anymore. I now use the video-nvidia-390xx driver and have no switch driver installed.
Here is my lspci -v | grep -E 'VGA|3D':
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF104GLM [Quadro 4000M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
And here is my inxi -G:
Graphics:

So now my DPI is to big and when I change the DefaultDepht in section Screen of the config file: /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf from 24 to 20 I get A black screen after booting from grub. I solve this by going in to the rescue terminal (Ctrl+alt+f2) I reinstall the graphics card driver via mhwd.
So my question is where do I change my DPI? Or is that even possible since my graphics card is old and has to have legacy drivers in order to work.
I’m also currently working on an other problem because my Intel graphics driver isn’t showing up. So just to provide enough information here is my: inxi -Faz:

I’ve also tried changing /etc/sddm.conf to enable HiDPI on line 30 and 38. But this didn’t do anything.
So I’ve started searching on the Arch forum to look for any other apply able options and found this thread. Which looks A lot to my older fix when I encounter the same problem. Because I needed to change the variable of the line Option "DPI" "96x96" in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf file.
But this installation of Manjaro doesn’t have that config file for some reason. Here is my ls of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ >> 00-keyboard.conf 30-touchpad.conf 90-mhwd.conf. As you can see there is no nvidia.conf file in this directory. And now I’m clueless of where I need to add the Option "DPI" "96x96" or where to change that variable.
