nVidia DisplayPort (over Type-C) issues [AMD/nVidia Hybrid Graphics]

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hey, I need help running a display through DisplayPort over Type-C. Nothing I’m trying is working in the System Settings app. Details are below.

Problem: Display 2 over DP through Type-C (driven by nVidia) doesn’t work - NO display output at all

System Specs:
ASUS TUF 15" Gaming

  • AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (with Radeon Graphics)
  • nVidia GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
  • 16 GB DDR4 RAM
  • FHD 144hz Internal Display
  • FHD 240hz External DP Display

there is an issue with the power-management. check /etc/rules.d/ for a nvidia-related- rules file.
inside almost everything is disabled, change it by commenting out with # and reboot

I don’t see an /etc/rules.d/ file in my directory. Should I create one with the commented parameters as you suggested?

are you using the nvidia-driver or nouveau ? please post the demanded output of the link below

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

  1. Please read this:
    [HowTo] Provide System Information
    and press the three dots … below your post and press the :pencil2: to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
    Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… :grin:
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

I’m actively using the nvidia-driver. Also, please see my original, first post (“inxi paste below”) for the command’s output.

sorry, my mistake but there should be a config-file in /etc/rules. is there any file ? can you post the output of 'ls /etc/rules.d/ ?

The output:

ls: cannot access '/etc/rules.d/': No such file or directory
8

in this case a config-file in /etc/rules.d/ should be generated. please read the wiki link before

I stand corrected on the drivers - it’s video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime. I followed the ArchLinux Wiki link, and here’s what I got with /etc/udev/rules.d/90-mhwd-prime-powermanagement.rules:

# Remove NVIDIA USB xHCI Host Controller devices, if present

yes and to activate the usb-c bus you need to comment the line with #

# Remove NVIDIA USB Type-C UCSI devices, if present
#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTR{class}=="0x0c8000", ATTR{remove}="1"

Should I still comment out the Type-C bus to use DP over Type-C? (I also sometimes use it for USB devices, so it would be nice to still have that functionality.)

[SOLUTION FAILED]

try and test it, you can always change it back by editing the config-file.

Didn’t seem to do anything at all.

Update: Proceeded with a clean reinstall of the latest Manjaro KDE release.

Absolutely nothing happened. Not even my personal Type-C to HDMI adapter had success.

What is the output of xrandr -q?

16

Nothing but my internal display and my HDMI controller. The USB-C monitor isn’t detected.

Pretty sure it’s a KDE issue; every other distro manages to catch the Type-C DP.
