HDMI / VIRTUAL Not working Bumblebeed+bbswitch+nvidia

FenixGhost · 2019-05-26 01:02:32

Hello! I'm running Arch Linux on a Asus Laptop (N46VM). My problem is my HDMI port is not working correctly, does not detect the monitor. I've tried everything I've found on archlinux wiki about bumblebee and it's functionalities but nothing seems to work. After reading tons of pages haven't found a working solution.

I manage to activate Virtual1 output with optirun intel-virtual-output but nothing happens when i connect the monitor to the HDMI port. When virtual1 is connect i can see it at the display manager but at the monitor i get a flat black screen nothing shows up and on the monitor the usual text "no signal".

This is some info about my Arch Linux and hardware, if you need more info just tell me, Thank you for your help!
