[SOVLED] How to use external and internal monitor with eGPU

Hello,
i've bought new monitor, which is connected through DisplayPort to my GPU (GTX 1080) which is connected to my laptop through thunderbolt 3. And it works pretty well with the following config...

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "7:0:0"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "AllowExternalGpus"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting"
    BusID "0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection

But I'd like to use my external and internal monitor simultaneously. Now I can run only external OR internal monitor. Not both of them. Is there a way how to achieve it? External screen should be rendered with the eGPU, but I don't care about internal monitor. It can be rendered with eGPU, intel gpu (UHD 630), or nvidia discrete GPU (Quadro P600). I just need my internal monitor to work, I don't care how I do it.

Thank you.

Started working today. I didn't change anything. Maybe I just was too sleepy yesterday.

Can be closed.
