Issues & Assistance Unsupported hardware | Dual boot

Hi, I'm using open-source drivers and when using xrandr, it just says that it cannot detect those outputs on my laptop. Thanks for all the help.

Can you post the output you are seeing into the thread?

First reboot

This is not open source.

driver: X: loaded: intel,nvidia

4

Using the Garuda Settings Manager, it says I'm using open-sourced drivers so I don't know what you mean.

5

Output reads: "warning: output HDMI1 not found; ignoring"
I ran: xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto

Did you reboot?

And Nvidia is installed, loaded and not open source.

8

I know I installed them, I would just like to know why they're currently loaded while I have the open-sourced ones installed.

9

Yes, I rebooted and it's functioning... sort of. It's incredible laggy but I assume that's an issue with either my hardware or drivers
Also stuck with the same issue I had with the Latte dock not appearing nor the background appearing on the mirrored screen

10

What is the output of xrandr with no arguments?

Well it looks like HDMI is connected.

As far as that error message goes, I believe you need to get that zero in there:

xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 --auto

Thankyou, I should've known to do that

You have both installed:

If you are able to get the proprietary driver up, that is generally preferred because typically that will yield the best performance. Accordingly, your system will assume you want to use Nvidia and will blacklist Nouveau.

If you want to use Nouveau (but wish to keep Nvidia installed), you need to remove the blacklist and set up a .conf to tell Xorg to use Nouveau. More here: Nouveau - ArchWiki

Just as an FYI, unless you enable nvidia non free modesetting in grub, you won't see the information about ports for nvidia devices using non free nvidia driver in inxi Device-x:.

Because that's missing, inxi is unable to match the internal KMS port ID with the X.org port ID.

That's the second heads up, the /sys ksm/drm port ids and the xorg port ids can be, and often are, different, so you always have to use the xrandr value, not the kms from /sys.

With this single exception ( nvidia card running non free nvidia driver, without enabling nvidia modeset in grub) you'll almost always see this full amount of data in inxi, including the second monitor that is missing in this report.

There's no workaround I can do to correct this, unfortunately, the user has to enable:
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
in grub boot paramenters or that data is not available to the kernel.
