Intel CPU not detected after installing nvidia drivers

I installed my nvidia drivers through the wiki, and everything works great. However, I have a second monitor hooked up to my CPU through a VGA port. (My main monitor is on DP on the GPU).
lspci doesn't even show the cpu, but whenever I boot my pc, and go to start my x server session, it all happens on the cpu monitor. After I run startx and get into i3, the secondary monitor is just a freezeframe of the server start.
I looked through the wiki regarding Intel drivers, but I can't find anything. Any Help?

Re: Intel CPU not detected after installing nvidia drivers

I'm pretty sure your CPU is detected and very sure it won't show up in in lspci, because it's not a PCI device.
You mean the IGP and is not uncommon for it to be shut down by the firmware when a dedicated GPU is detected, but that depends on what kind of system this actually is.
We'll need some actual data about it in order to help you,  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

In particular please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

as well as your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Re: Intel CPU not detected after installing nvidia drivers

journalctl https://0x0.st/H9AI.txt
and whenever I execute

 $ grep -e Log -e tty Xorg.0.log 

it shows there's no such file or directory

Re: Intel CPU not detected after installing nvidia drivers

Aug 24 11:07:27 arch kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] fb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device

iGPU is detected and the i915 kernel module is loaded.

and whenever I execute

 $ grep -e Log -e tty Xorg.0.log 

it shows there's no such file or directory

What directories did you execute that command in?

Post the xorg log nevertheless, revisit the wiki, do NOT grep the file, post it!
You can use the tip in the 1st link below to post it from the console.
