[SOLVED]Display detetcted but no content on the display.

Only a cursor displays on the external monitor but nothing else.(This is when i have extended monitors selected)

When i choose the option to mirror monitors, my laptop display shuts down and the external monitor prints 'input not supported'.

I am running gnome on wayland.
I have rtx 3060 gpu.

Make sure modesetting is enabled and install the prop driver if you haven't yet: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation
