[SOLVED] Second monitor only works while mouse moves on it

Hello,
I'm using a laptop with Intel+NVIDIA, PRIME and dwm-6.4. I was using 1680x1050 and working fine, 1920x1080 had some issues. Few updates got this problem.
Picom is disable.
Is it tagged to mouse?

For now i have these outputs:

xrandr --prop

Can you tell me why?

It's buggy and unmaintained and has not really been developed or tested with GPU's newer than ivybridge (from 2011ish) and got actively worse by the mesa/mesa-amber switch by defaulting to look for i965 which doesn't exist in newer mesa.

Oh ok, thanks.
