None-1 connected primary 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 508mm x 317mm

That's the simplydumb device, your graphics stack doesn't properly work at all.

lspci -k
pacman -Qs firmware

The kernel module doesn't operate the device and you don't have linux-firmware-amdgpu - so…

Edit: you probably also want https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any … e-atheros/

Re: [SOLVED] External display does not connect after update

Yet another case of not getting the correct commands for the manual intervention.
https://archlinux.org/news/linux-firmwa … ervention/
That second command is critical.
