Hi all, I’m a complete novice at Manjaro and Linux in general and have tried quite a few things to get my 3090 to output to my monitor:
I simply cannot get my 3090 to output to my monitor on Manjaro. I am on kernel 5.9.16-1-MANJARO and have tried it on 5.4 as well. I also attempted to do this on 5.10. I have one card plugged into a monitor (1080 is working) and the 3090 into another. Both cards are detected on nvidia-settings as well as the monitors, and I have also tried both HDMI and DP connections. I am not sure what will be useful to add so here are some things:

I also tried uninstalling linux59-nvidia and linux54-nvidia packages and installed nvidia-dkms 460.32.03-1 and nvidia-util 460.32.03-1 packages and booted up fine on linux 54 but would hang on a black screen on linux 59 but could still boot into text console.
I booted to black screen on latest updates. I solved my problem by removing
local/mhwd-nvidia-340xx 340.108-1
MHWD module-ids for nvidia 340.108
local/mhwd-nvidia-390xx 390.138-1
MHWD module-ids for nvidia 390.138
I had to do that through pamac gui (for some reason I couldn’t get terminal to find those packages)
I did this and it gave me the problem of freezing the screen after logging in. Could still log in to root so I had to make a new user and delete the old one. Removing 390xx required me to remove mhwd, mhwd-db, and mhwd-nvidia.
Then I had different problem and I am sorry for giving you bad advice. This is then above my knowledge.
Do you have an Nvidia 30 series card?
Unfortunately no. I have an older architecture than that.

I’m not quite sure how to blacklist the GTX 1080 specifically from using the driver. Can you point me to a resource? Also how would I configure xorg to explicitly use the RTX 3090?

Use an Xorg configuration like this:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib32/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib32/nvidia/xorg/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib32/xorg/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Screen 0 "nvidia"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" ### change the bus id as needed ###
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Device "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection
You need to change “BusID” parameter of the device to that of the RTX 3090. You can use lspci -nn -d ::0300 to get the necessary numbers. For example, 01:00.0 becomes PCI:1:0:0.

I tried creating a similar xorg config, completely removed the 1080 and only used the 3090. Didn’t get any of the boot screens on display with the 1080 unplugged. When it was plugged in, I was able to get the login screen on the display with the 3090 connected. After entering my password, it goes completely black and I can only bring up the TTY on the 1080 display.

Have you tried putting the RTX 3090 in the slot the GTX 1080 was in?
No, I have not and most likely would not willing to try that setup because that would give too little clearance for the 1080 in the other slot.

I gather that you get absolutely no display output when only the RTX 3090 is in the machine?
Correct. I’d also like to note I’m able to successfully pass the 3090 to a windows VM, so the card itself isn’t defective.

Please post the output of head -n999 /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* /etc/X11/mhwd.d/*.
Nvidia.conf is what I’m currently using to get output on the 1080 monitor. I tried adding a second screen for the 3090 to not much success.

Please run sudo unlink /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf. Then save the configuration I suggested as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf with appropriately modified bus id, and reboot.

Did so, same issue as described before. Login screen on 3090 display, black after login.

I think this could be caused by some user-level configuration, can you create a new user and try to log in with that?

You were absolutely correct, creating a new user and using the xorg config you posted works. Any idea how I can replicate this behavior on the other user?
Edit: Funnily enough, this now reverses the behavior. Can’t get the 1080 to output display to its monitor. That’s okay because I plan on passing it through to a VM, but I do wonder if there’s a way to use both for the host machine.
