Hi,
I own an MSI nvidia optimus gaming laptop and am trying to launch a KDE Wayland session in which my secondary monitor is detected. After some research a reason for why the hdmi connected monitor is not detected could be, that nvidia_drm.modeset=1 is not enabled as a kernel parameter. Trying to do so ends in my system getting stuck during the boot process. Only solution is removing the entry from grub or a modprobe config file (I tried both ways to get the kernel parameter running) by chrooting from a live system.
What could be the issue?
nvidia and wayland isn’t compatible. whatever you do but you’ll have to use x11 with nvidia.
also post the mandatory
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
output and use the preformatted text option to paste it inside it.

Well, that’s kind of an unsubstantial killer phrase.

were you able to get this to work? I am having the same issue.
I dont know but the original posters premise was wrong.
Using a hybrid system - it makes sense the boot would lock up with an nvidia modesetting option as it would be initially booting into the iGPU and using that by default.
nvidia_drm.modeset=1 is a boot parameter but not the only way to pass a module option.
You can set an option for the module using something like /etc/modprobe.d/mynv.conf
options nvidia_drm modeset=1
(though this is probably already present from any of the nvidia mhwd profiles)
Well, I think I mixed up two problems in my initial question that are not related and tried to fix them this way - my thought was that this could cause my external monitor to be undetected.
I have and had no problem with logging into a Wayland session from SDDM on the internal screen, but I usually do not use that one and that problem really nags me.
In the meantime I came across possible solutions for the external monitor recognition problem but that is maybe caused by a deleted xorg.conf file that I have no backup of.
Maybe it is time to make a complete Manjaro re-install and hope for the best.
But I also realized that gaming performance on a wayland session is worse than with X11 on my specific system. So at this point of time wayland is not a real option for me.
