Howdy there;
I want to thank you for your help with this issue but I am pretty sure somebody else may be having this issue as well.
My setup is a Dell G16 laptop with 2 external GPUs enclosures (sonnet 750) and 2 Quadro RTX 4000 cards. Each GPU is connected to 2 Dell 4K monitors. Everything was working perfectly fine until the upgrade to Manjaro 24 a couple of days ago.
I originally got the setup to work following these 2 links below:
I do have to say that the drivers that the installer install were right on. I am attaching the following output from the laptop booting up.

The change today is the PCI address for the 2nd NVIDIA card. It was 19 yesterday. Not sure why the PCI address is differrent today. First time I see it changed.
