Laptop monitor stops working but external monitors do
This happened after installing & configuring Nvidia Drivers/Optimus.
Here's my Xorg logs:https://0x0.st/-Vmg.log
(go to raw data if you cant find the log)
Sorry for the short post- not sure what else to put lel

Configure the system properly - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Optimus
That esp. includes *not* using nvidia-settings or nvidia-xconfig, so remove the generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Could also have been "Xorg -configure" which is likewise not going to work.
