[resolved] Second monitor isn't working

Hi! I have succesfully installed arch, but one of my monitors isn't working, i have it plugged to displayport, to external gpu. Problem is that the gpu is displayed correctly everywhere and i even have drivers (nvidia propiertary) however monitor isnt working, what is strange that it is normally working as login screen when sddm appears after that if freezes on black screen and i cannot detect it anywhere. Can anybody help please

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Guessing from "SDDM", please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
Also try to head to a different TTY (ctrl+alt+F3) and run

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -q | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

and post that url.

Further guessing from SDDM, are you just running into https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Un … lution_set ?
