Hi, new to manjaro.
So when i first booted it, the second display was disabled, i enabled it in and it worked just fine, i installed the drivers for my 1050ti, setup the background, stuff like that, and when i rebooted, the second monitor was turned on, tho black screen, and seemingly unrecognized (in the display settings its not disabled, but not there at all).
I have the main one connected to the GPU, and the one that is not working connected to the mobo, this worked fine on windows and on here as well, before i rebooted as i said.
Help?

Hello,
Disable the iGPU in BIOS.
Delete the displays.xml file as described here
Since you use XFCE, just check or remove the file:
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
It will regenerate after reboot with the correct values.
Also, did you manually tweaked /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf - can we see the content of it ?
Create a fixed layout in nvidia.conf - see some of the examples mentioned in the linked post.

[/quote]
This is what i found in my bios, i guess that is the same thing, after I disabled it, the monitor didn’t turn on at all, as opposed to turning on with a black screen, and deleting displays.xml and rebooting did nothing.
The main monitor is 75hz and the secondary is 60hz if that means anything
Also, i didn’t touch nvidia.conf, here are the contents of it:

Do you have a monitor connected to the iGPU? If yes, then either your system is capable to display trough both GPU’s, or once you turn off iGPU in BIOS your both monitors are connected to the dGPU.
Now please make sure that you also set what is the primary GPU in the BIOS, if has that option.

If that doesn’t work, an alternative solution is to install the hybrid configuration and install optimus-manager
and switch to nvidia
mode.

Can’t find it, shouldn’t the external GPU be primary anyway since its the only enabled GPU?

Thats for hybrid? I guess i can try, all i do on the secondary display is browse, do i need to re-enable the iGPU for that?

Yes, you need to enable the integrated gpu for that.

Just for the record, the startup mode can be edited in /etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf
:
