Multi-Monitor on HP Omen 15 en1xxx (HDMI, DisplayLink not working as 2nd monitor)

Hi, @josch

Nice to see fellow Omen user trying out Garuda.
Regarding you issue, see

Actually, HP Omen are made in such a way that HDMI ports are hardwired with NVIDIA GPU. So only NVIDIA GPU has access to it, as far as I know.

So, you must switch to dedicated GPU to use HDMI ports. I am unsure about Display Port, but I guess it would be hardwired too.

I hope this solves your issue.

Also, I saw some users have been facing issues with Nvidia on Arch Linux in general after recent update. If your issue is still not resolved, report back here, I will have a look tomorrow.

Have a good day.
