Re: [SOLVED] Unable to get external monitor working

Though I haven't tried it myself you could try installing nvidia beta driver from aur. It is suppose to support Linux 5.10

This fixed it, thanks a lot!

This is probably obvious for most people but maybe it will help someone:

paru -R nvidia nvidia-lts
paru -S nvidia-beta
reboot

Just an FYI, the latest nvidia driver fixes the issue on linux kernel 5.10. So you probably don't need the aur beta version.

It stopped working again (xrandr couldn't find the provider anymore). So then I tried uninstalling nvidia-beta and installed nvidia instead, and now it works again.
