Manjaro Xfce linux

Greetings everyone,
I need help with my Manjaro Linux, i just installed it and I installed all the gpu drivers I needed, but when I use my gpu for display, I get stuck with no gui. When I switch back to an integrated display, I am able to get gui.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

My pc specs:
Intel s2600cwr motherboard
x2 Intel xeon e5-2609 v4 cpus
x4 Transcend 8GB 2666 reg-dimm rams
Nvidia quadro fx3700 gpu
Nvidia tesla c1060 gpu

can you provide
under TTY or terminal

inxi -Fza 
sudo mhwd -li 
sudo journalctl -b0 | grep nvidia

Sorry i couldn’t post screenshots so i had to copy and paste.

By doing what?

No NVIDIA driver is installed. Both are legacy cards not supported by any of our current proprietary NVIDIA drivers (video-nvidia).

You can install the free drivers (video-linux / nouveau) either from the terminal or with Manjaro Settings Manager:

sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300

See Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro

That’s exactly what was expected. Screenshots of text are useless. :wink:

Thanks a lot Yochanan, i will try installing the free drivers.

when i install free drivers, it says the drivers are already installed

What’s the full output of that command?

here’s what i got
