Hello everyone, I am sorry to bother you, I’ve been using Manjaro for little over a month now and every problem I’ve had I’ve managed to resolve without much fuss, but I need some help now.
I’m currently using a Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 with a Ryzen 7 7730U (integrated graphics) and a ThinkPad USB-C Docking Station, recently I also purchased an LG 27GR75Q-B and I have had issues with it.
First of all, I am aware this dock is not powerful enough to deliver 2K 165Hz image, hence why I’m currently using it at 2K 60Hz and plan on getting a different ThinkPad dock later on.
To start, the monitor won’t work if I log in with standard GNOME, it will only work if I use GNOME with Xorg, which for it to work properly I had to uninstall video-linux, video-modsetting and video-vesa, which in turn causes issues with screen tearing in other applications (such as Mupen64), second of all, the monitor will not work if I plug in the dock while my computer has already finished booting, I need to do a full reboot in order to get it to work, which obviously is very annoying, if I unplug it and want to use it later I must do a reboot while the dock is connected, no matter which of the two DP ports I use, strangely, this does not happen with USB, power delivery or Ethernet, which can be unplugged and plugged no issue. And finally this isn’t too much of a real issue but still bugs me, on the login screen after a reboot the monitor always displays a cropped up zoomed in top left corner of the image, while the ThinkPad’s display works as normal, I’ve got no clue what causes this.
Here’s what the Terminal displays after running inxi -Fza

I would really appreciate any help I can get, thank you.
UPDATE: It works with regular GNOME now, wakes up from sleep with seemingly no problems, I was able to reinstall open-source drivers with no hiccups which is awesome, will keep testing and tweaking, in the meantime, anything that could help is much appreciated.
