Doesn't show image on external monitor, AMD + Nvidia

Hi all.
I have a laptop Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 with two internal monitors. It is equipped with a Ryzen 9 5980HX processor with an integrated graphics card, as well as a discrete GeForce RTX 3060.

My problem is that the external monitor does not see the signal. I used two HDMI cables for testing, and two different monitors that work from other sources.
In xrander, the external monitor is visible.

   1920x1080     60.00    59.94    50.00  
   ...

Next, I will describe everything that I did, as well as the current configs. If you need additional information, I will gladly provide it.

With the help of archinstall, I installed Arch on it, and then, following the instructions from this site, I performed the following steps:

  1. Add repo

  2. Install asusctl and supergfxctl

  3. Install custom kerner linux-g14
     

What my config files look like now

On the ASUS NoteBook Linux  website, I found a section (Why did nvidia mode give me black screen with xorg?) related to my problem.

I am trying to follow these steps but I am getting an error.

With provider number I get the same error

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 0 1

I would be grateful for your help, I have been trying to figure this out for over a month now sad

From the comments, when you turn on the computer with an external monitor connected, the built-in monitors do not work for the first time, the external monitor at this time writes twice that there is no signal, and after that the built-in monitors start working.
I think that I could find useful logs about this, but I don't know where to look for them.

Re: Doesn't show image on external monitor, AMD + Nvidia

I had a similar issue and adding the following options to your 90-nvidia-primary.conf  might solve the issue:

Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
