Just did a fresh install of Manjaro Plasma on a laptop. There is a secondary monitor plugged through HDMI. It does show up in “Display Configuration” but enabling it does nothing (Though the GUI does glitch out a bit when I apply the settings to enable it).
Strangely enough both screens (Built-in and external) do work when I completely uninstall the proprietary graphics drivers only leaving open-source drivers. Though for obvious reasons this isn’t ideal.
I also tried installing one by one all other proprietary drivers available and restarting in between each install. Only difference is when I install video-nvidia-470xx then my external monitor works, but built in doesn’t.
Any help would be appreciated.
