I’m having an issue with nvidia-settings not actually being set after following step in this page.
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Configure_NVIDIA_(non-free)_settings_and_load_them_on_Startup
My primary monitor is connected with display port and should be 1920x1080 at 144hz. It seems to pick up the resolution but never changes to 144hz and stays at 60hz.
I have a secondary monitor that has multiple other issues I’m guessing I’ll just tackle once the main monitor is working but it’s native 1920x1080 resolution at 60hz doesn’t get sensed and after applying the nvidia config and rebooting it just turned black and shows as disabled in nvidia-settings. I’m guessing I’ll have to edit the conf file to fix it? It doesn’t seem to have a “Monitor1” in the config to include it.
Here’s my system info the Graphics section shows it still at 60hz.
