Xrandr shows laptop screen as diconnected with Nouveau drivers.

With proprietary drivers I had no problem, both of my screens worked out of the box. I followed arch wiki on how nouveau driver should be set up.

$ xrandr

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+  59.94  
   1600x1200     60.00  
   1680x1050     59.88  
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02  
   1440x900      74.98    59.90  
   1280x960      60.00  
   1280x800      59.91  
   1152x864      75.00  
   1280x720      60.00    59.94  
   1024x768      75.03    70.07    60.00  
   832x624       74.55  
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32    56.25  
   720x480       60.00    59.94  
   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    60.00    59.94  
   720x400       70.08  
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

My graphic cards (if relevant):

$ lspci | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] (rev a1)

I only see second external monitor. I don't want to get rid of proprietary drivers if possibly.
What should I do?

The internal display is likely wired to the intel chip, the hdmi one to the nvidia one.
Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus (and subsequent links)
