Garuda (2.7.2-1):
System install date:     2025-06-20
Last full system update: 2025-06-21
Is partially upgraded:   No
Relevant software:       snapper NetworkManager dracut nvidia-dkms
Windows dual boot:       Probably (Run as root to verify)
Failed units:

Main screen (this one is working here) : HDMI
Second screen : DisplayPort

Think on it, you need the nvidia-open-beta-dkms driver.

To install over konsole command paru, but before you must uninstall the nvidia-dkms driver.
Pls post pacman -Qs nvidia to see what you must uninstall.

uninstall (default, perhaps you need the option -Rdd)

sudo pacman -R  garuda-nvidia-config nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utilsopencl-nvidia libxnvctrl lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia gwe nvidia-prime python-py3nvml

to install with all opt. dependence

paru -S nvidia-open-beta-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils-beta lib32-opencl-nvidia-beta nvidia-settings-beta opencl-nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta

then reboot → test on different display ports, since dsp0 + hdmi do not always work well + post the current garuda-inxi, pls.

Aside from the driver itself, it also wouldn’t hurt to test things out in an X session. It’s also a good idea to test replacing the DP cable with another HDMI cable.

Welcome to Garuda @zatura :waving_hand: :smiley:
