With xorg-server 1.20.12-1 my HDMI connected external monitor stopped working.
I can boot and log in with disconnected HDMI. When I connect the HDMI monitor I get back to SDDM greeter and when I try to login again the screen hangs at load animation. Here Xorg.0.log from that session.
If I boot with connected HDMI and login at SDDM the screen hangs at load animation as well.
