Hello everyone, and thank you for takeing a moment to look at my post. I’m looking for somone that can help walk me through attempting to figure out my problem. Please be patient with me as I am brand new to linux and this is my first day with garuda.
I have been trying to reaolve this problem all day now, digging through forums reinstalling things, testing etc.
I have 4 monitors on a desktop pc. (Yes i know, 4) when i started the day tring to install from live boot all 4 worked, but i could not for the life of me get it to install correctly. Finally figured out after lots of digging online that it was my m.2 , changed drives and wala installs no problem. But now i have 1 monitor that allways has a black screen. Display 1 is dp to hdmi (working), display 2 is hdmi (working), display 3 i have tried with both dvi or dp either way works fine, display 4 dp works on post if only monitor plugged in but will not work on boot. Only shows black screen. If i look at the display settings it knows its connected. I have tried mirroring, lowering the refresh rate. No luck.
The biggest differnece is that this monitor is a gaming monitor while the others are not so it keeps trying to resort to 240hz while the others can not do more than 60hz.
Im just so lost at this point, i have tried so many guides and “fixes” that i dont even know how to get back to some of the menus or anything at this point. Could somone please take a moment to help walk me through what i should do, test, check, try. As i am new at this please provide how to get what you want to know (command, breadcrumbs, guide).
Current state is fresh install of garuda gaming version, setup assistant used to update/upgrade things and nvidia drivers installed (545.29.02) from prompt.
Geforce gtx 1070
Thank you in advance for your time.

Ok,So I have been at it for a while now, but I have some updates. I was able to get the nvidia drivers installed and working. But still can not get this one monitor to work. I have narrowed it down to the monitor its self at this point because If i plug my 4k tv in via dp to hdmi it works perfectly even with the three other monitors running. I dont know what it is about this monitor linux just does not like.
I did read on the nvidia forms I should be useing the nvidia-drm drivers based on my GPU. I see I do have installed under alternate, but how do I tell linux to use that driver?

OK, never did figure out how to change the driver being used but i did just solve my problem. I was messing around in my monitor settings to see if anything at all could possibly be preventing it from working…
