Two out of three screens go black after login

I’ve been trying to tackle this problem for a while now. After an updating a couple of months ago I’ve been getting this issue where on the login screen I see all three of my monitors, but after logging in one of my external monitors and my laptop screen go black.

I tried different kernels switching between recommended kernels and updating to the 6.0 kernel.
I’ve tried using the video-nvidia and the video-nvidia-470xx drivers.
Tried switching my laptop between discrete graphics and dynamic graphics.

Nothing really seems to be working. If anyone has any suggestions it would very much be appreciated.

Anyone any ideas?

  1. Are all the monitors recognized in KDE settings → Display Configuration?
  2. Do all monitors show output on Wayland if you currently use xorg? What about the other way around?
  3. Have you tried explicitly defining connected monitors as shown in PRIME - ArchWiki - section 3.1?
  4. Are these any errors/warnings shown in journalctl?
  5. Have you tried adding Nvidia modules to KMS Kernel mode setting - ArchWiki ?

Just some of the things that I’ve had to try when I got a laptop with Nvidia card.

I think KDE devs know multi-monitor isn’t working well, apparently they are working on it though according to this post: Plasma 5.27 Beta - KDE Community
