My system cannot detect my monitor after a update

Hi,

I had broken mirrorlist (pacman couldn't find any new packages) so I corrected it and updated (437 packages and 5GB installed size). After this update I'm unable to connect my external HDMI monitor. Where could be the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

You are here for almost 2 years. So you should know, what information to post. With that vague description I can only assume, that obviously the problem is caused by on of the upgraded packages.

I should but I do not use forums that often. No logs I could find contained usefull info about my problem with HDMI.
Anyway thanks for quick reply.

What packages were updated?  (/var/log/pacman.log)
What is supposed to be using the external display X, Wayland, something else?

What system? X or Wayland? What card? Driver? Logs or journal entries for those?
