[SOLVED]HDMI not detected on Intel + NVIDIA GTX 1060 laptop
Hey there! New forum user and Arch n00b over here 
. So let's get right to the point...
When I plug in a HDMI to my laptop (you can found its specifications here (it's in spanish, I hope it doesn't matter)), I can't display my screen via the HDMI when I try to change the output. In fact, xrandr doesn't even show any HDMI output display available. I've tried this over XFCE and GNOME with the same result, if that's something you may know.
Also, running xrandr with optirun will give the same result
I have already tried this Bumblebee solution but it only crashes my GUI whenever I want to boot my laptop, so it's a no no for me 
(in fact, I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file because it won't let me boot up, it just stucks while trying to start the Graphical Interface)
Here I leave you guys some system info:

Re: [SOLVED]HDMI not detected on Intel + NVIDIA GTX 1060 laptop
Yup, common problem with Optimus laptops. On some models, HDMI output is hardwired to the NVidia chip, and not accessible by the Intel card if using the proprietary drivers. Same issue here and here. Blame NVidia.
Copy-pasting my own response :
You have three solutions :
- Do not use the Intel GPU and run the whole X session on NVidia (guidelines for X, don't know about Wayland though). NVidia will be able to acess the built-in laptop display from the Intel card using the PRIME technology.
- Run X on Intel but use the open-source driver (nouveau) for NVidia. You will be able to acess the external output by setting up Reverse PRIME.
- Run X on intel and NVidia with the proprietary driver, and use intel-virtual-output.I don't know how any of those solutions play with Wayland, though (I doubt intel-virtual-output would work for instance, since it's specific to X).
EDIT : By the way, you should delete all xf86-video-* packages, they are not needed in your case.
