Help me connect my laptop to the tv please. I do have video output to the external monitor only on lock screen and it shuts down as soon as I log in. If I disable the iGPU then I get one monitor detected in settings with video output on both screens.

Rolling back to the 550 driver seemed to work for someone else in a similar situation see the last few posts in this forum post: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/how-can-i-get-my-second-monitor-to-work-with-proprietary-nvidia-drivers/182602/4
@jjis In this case the Nvidia GPU is Turing which is supported going forward with the newer drivers both proprietary and open…
The Intel GPU is in what seems to be considered Legacy…

@petrujenac Hi, so from your first inxi output and the second, there are issues…
Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.15 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.5
compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X: loaded: modesetting,nvidia
unloaded: vesa alternate: fbdev,intel,nouveau,nv dri: iris gpu: i915
display-ID: 0
Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.15 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.5
compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X: loaded: N/A unloaded: modesetting,vesa
failed: nvidia alternate: fbdev,nouveau,nv gpu: nvidia display-ID: 0
Before you had loaded: modesetting,nvidia and now loaded: N/A and failed: nvidia
So is the likes of suse-prime, bbswitch and bumblebee installed? Maybe the nvidia open driver is also installed?
The output might be different because now I’m having the iGPU switched off in bios and now both displays show video but it’s only one that’s seen in the display settings. So kde thinks I have one display and it’s UNKNOWN. I didn’t install anything apart from what is says in the wiki.
@petrujenac Can you check zypper se -i nvidia bbswitch* bumble* *prime* and also as root user lsinitrd | grep -E "nouveau|nvidia"

Now I switched back to hybrid, as it was.

Better use the openSUSE service for big files/output.https://paste.opensuse.org/

I didn’t know such thing exists
@petrujenac So kernel-firmware-nvidia-gsp-G06 needs to be installed to complement the open driver.
I would re-enable the Intel GPU as well, but can you show what intel packages are installed first with zypper se -i intel as you may need to remove some first.

@petrujenac so this needs to be removed libvulkan_intel-32bit probably want to install intel-media-driver so do that and reboot and re-enable the Intel GPU.
I don’t have this package listed in repo-non-free. Does that mean I’ve installed the driver incorrectly?
@petrujenac the nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default and kernel-firmware-nvidia-gsp-G06 packages are in the standard oss repo.
Just so I won’t make it even worse, can you paste the zypper commands I need for fixing this mess step by step, please? Thanks in advance.
@petrujenac
zypper rm libvulkan_intel-32bit
zypper in intel-media-driver kernel-firmware-nvidia-gsp-G06
Still no external monitor detected…
Cheers!
