Hi all,
Recently came across Garuda and already loving it, however, I've been having issues with configuring my DELL external monitor. I have installed nvidia drivers (because I have to) in order to be able to configure my external monitor, unfortunately, it's not working, some help to get this working would be greatly appriceated

Hey Petsam,
So i've tried installing nvidia (latest) with Optimus manager, it did not work.
I have a 30" Dell monitor I usually use it for work and but also I'd like to use it for my side way projects that I work on, so Ideally have just the external monitor working when I connect to it.
Dell monitor supports HDMI, mini DP, either would be fine.

Many thanks!
Also for some reasons today when I switch to Nvidia my laptop screen goes black.
It might mean the external output is bound to Nvidia.
I don’t think optimus-manager is your solution. Have you tried without it?video-nvidia-prime-render-offload with video-linux and use prime-run for demanding apps.
I have long been uninformed on nvidia maddness workarounds, so I am not up-to-date. Maybe someone else could help better.

I removed nvidia driver altogether I really don't need Nvidia for anything all I actaully want is to be able to connect via hdmi/dp my external monitors.
as of now this is my set up.

it's so frustrating because I thought with amdgpu driver for the integrated gpu AMD RENOIR it would have been a straight forward thing but its not proving it to be like that.
I am not giving up on Garuda just yet, I really like it, and this is coming form someone who's been using Mint for over a decade.
Cheers,
With the same laptop?
Have you studied your laptop User Manual?
You would need at least nouveau working IMO.
Your English seems not really helping understand. Maybe write in your native language and we use a translator.
