Hi everyone,
I’m currently facing an issue with my display setup on Garuda Linux. I have an NVIDIA RTX 2070 GPU with two monitors connected:
- HDMI → ASUS VG248 (1920x1080) – working fine
- DisplayPort → LG ULTRAGEAR (2560x1440 @ 120Hz) – no signal, not even detected
I’m using the proprietary NVIDIA 575.64 driver with Wayland (KDE Plasma). This exact hardware setup was working yesterday with both monitors, but after a reboot today, the DisplayPort monitor stopped working completely.
What changed:
- HDMI output still works
- The DisplayPort monitor is no longer listed in
xrandr - I tested the same DisplayPort cable and monitor on another machine → works fine
- I also deleted
~/.local/share/kscreen/configs and rebooted → no change
I also checked the KScreen output folder (~/.local/share/kscreen/outputs/) and noticed that no new config was generated for the DisplayPort output after rebooting.
This suggests that the system doesn’t detect the DisplayPort monitor at all — not even at the hardware enumeration level.
Here’s some info from my system:
