[Need Help] Second screen not working after updating my nvidia drivers

So i updated my nvidia drivers and before that, everything was fine. However after reboot, my second screen stopped working. However from what is saying xrandr, the screen is detected as connected. My screen that stopped working is on DVI.

I'm using KDE with X11 and i did not find possible reason of why it stopped working. My only guess is the DVI port that is a problem but it is not a physical one.

Thanks for you time reading this and tell me if you need more info.

Re: [Need Help] Second screen not working after updating my nvidia drivers

I tried to restart using

xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --off

and it broke my other monitor. However, I did it from the KDE environnement so maybe it was what broke it.

Doing so from an empty terminal makes it not detect the screen. However, it made the working one flicker.

Re: [Need Help] Second screen not working after updating my nvidia drivers

Same issue here.

Edit: just reverted the update and everything is working again for now
don't have time to investigate why atm.

sudo pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-dkms-550.90.07-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-utils-550.90.07-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-nvidia-utils-550.90.07-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

My primary monitor is DVI and it is experiencing the same issue after the latest linux/nvidia update.

Edit: No display manager and bspwm with startx/.xinitrc
