No output on Intel UHD 730 (desktop)

I normally just use my NVIDIA card but I needed to connect a monitor to my iGPU today but I'm struggling to get output.

Boot gets stuck on

Reached target Graphical Interface

when I disable the external GPU. If external GPU is enabled I can boot as usual but I just get a non-blinking cursor on the monitor that's connected to the iGPU.

Information that may be useful:

I am using KDE on Xorg and SDDM. I tried creating an X conf file as instructed in the wiki but that didn't make any difference.

$ uname -r
6.3.9-arch1-1

$ lspci -k
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 730]
        Kernel driver in use: i915

        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Re: No output on Intel UHD 730 (desktop)

What exactly did you do "as instructed in the wiki" ? Generally you don't want any xorg.conf and should test the case without anything. This especially includes if you ran nvidia-xconfig at some point which makes this behaviour in general completely expected. If that doesn't help already, post a xorg log: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
