Xrandr shows HDMI ports as disconnected with NVIDIA propietary driver but all monitors work

Hello Garuda users,

I installed the Garuda Gnome version on my laptop recently with the NVIDIA propietary drivers. I have two HDMI monitors connected via a USB-C hub and everything works fine. The problem arises when I try to use xrandr to rearrange the layout of my screens or their resolution, but nevertheless works perfectly if I do it through the Gnome preferences.

The reason I am trying to do this with xrandr is because I want to configure the Awesome tiling window manager and could't find another way to do so.

Here is the output of xrandr -q:

As you can see, DP-1-1 and DP-1-2 are disconnected, but they are the ports that my two external monitors are actually using. In fact, I have this issue only with the propietary driver. If I uninstall it this two ports show as connected and I can change their configuration using xrandr.

I have read Gnome takes the .config/monitors.xml file and uses xrandr to do the changes. I don't know how is doing it but autorandr also fails because of this two disconnected outputs that are actually in use.

The other thing I've noticed is that the iGPU shows the ports DP-3, DP-4 and eDP-1 as active, but nevertheless 'DP-3' and 'DP-4' are not present in the output of the xrandr command.
