Hello.
I couldn’t find anyone talking about this in the forum in the last couple weeks, so I wanted to open this up to talk about it.
Basically, it looks like the Nvidia driver 555 breaks the DVI-I output. I noticed because while my main monitor is connected via HDMI, my secondary is connected by DVI-I (on a GTX 1050Ti).
I couldn’t find any solution, either on this forum, the arch one or the Nvidia forum. Personally for now I just downgraded to the previous working driver using sudo downgrade nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils
Here’s my garuda-inxi, in case anyone notices something wrong:
