[SOLVED] Xrandr it doesn't detect HDMI output

Hello everyone, first of all, English is not my native language, sorry if I have typing errors.

Well, when I type xrandr in the terminal, it doesn't detect the HDMI output:

 $ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
   1366x768      60.00*+  40.00  
   1280x720      60.00  
   1024x768      60.00  
   1024x576      60.00  
   960x540       60.00  
   800x600       60.32    56.25  
   864x486       60.00  
   640x480       59.94  
   720x405       60.00  
   680x384       60.00  
   640x360       60.00  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

This is my lspci output:

$ lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 525M] (rev a1)

Yes, I have installed the nvidia package, the thing is when I'm going to create the xorg.conf I don't know how to make it work properly because when I try to create the file automatically: 

 $ sudo nvidia-xconfig

This is the result,

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

And if I leave the xorg.conf like this, when I reboot or just turning it down and then turning it on again, Arch doesn't boot, I have to delete the xorg.conf and after that Arch can boot without problems.

Any advice is appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] Xrandr it doesn't detect HDMI output

X should detect/use nvidia card + proprietary driver without any xorg.conf present (recent change) .

Please post full /var.log/Xorg0.log (if absent or almost empty , look in ~/.local/share/xorg/ ) and dmesg or "journalctl -b" .
(those logs tend to be large, consider using a pastebin client, check wiki)

This indicates linux/X see the videocard at 0:0:2:0 as default card, lspci output tells us that's the intel card.
Your xorg.conf only mentions nvidia, if you want everythying to use the nvidia card , go into bios/uefi and set the nvidia card as primary card.

I don't have that option in my Bios setup sad

---------------------------------------------------------------

Well, after reading again NVIDIA article (and the related articles) in the wiki, I edited my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID  "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "Yes"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting"
    BusID  "PCI:0:2:0"
    Option  "AccelMethod"  "sna"
    Option "TearFree" "True"
    Option "Tiling"   "True"
    Option "SwapbuffersWait" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection    

Section "Files"
EndSection

And added these two lines in /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup (because I have SDDM)

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

After that, now I can view my laptop screen and my second monitor!
But... there's a problem, my second monitor displays its screen and my laptop screen together.
There is a screenshot:

Re: [SOLVED] Xrandr it doesn't detect HDMI output

The xorg.conf is based on "Discrete Card as Primary GPU" section from the PRIME wiki page ?

VGA-0 appears to be a virtual screen that for some reason uses panning to combine both HDMI and LVDS output on 1 screen.

you'll prob have to define  a specific output setup using Xrandr.

the first example on man xrandr looks like it could be useful for that,with a bit of tweaking.

It was from "NVIDIA Optimus" wiki page.

Yes, that's right,

xrandr --output LVDS-1-0 --auto --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output HDMI-0 --auto --rotate normal  --left-of LVDS-1-0 --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS-1-0

And finally it's working, thank you so much Lone_Wolf!

By the way, before put this thread as "[SOLVED]", if there is something wrong in my configuration or another way to make it work better, let me know please.

Re: [SOLVED] Xrandr it doesn't detect HDMI output

Looking good, but there's 1 possible caveat :

Your setup is using Xinerama .
There have been reports that compositing WMs (Mutter/Gnome  , Kwin/KDE , compton etc) don't work if Xinerama is used.
Would that be a problem for you ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] Xrandr it doesn't detect HDMI output

Thanks for the caveat, I just tried without Xinerama and it's working (of course with the same configuration in /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup)

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID  "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "Yes"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting"
    BusID  "PCI:0:2:0"
    Option  "AccelMethod"  "sna"
    Option "TearFree" "True"
    Option "Tiling"   "True"
    Option "SwapbuffersWait" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection

No problems for the moments, thanks for all Lone_Wolf!
