Hello People!

I am using the same machine and encounter the same problems with my HDMI port.

I tried both prime and reverse prime

Reverse Prime

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia-reverse-prime.conf

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "1:0:0"
    Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNonEdidModes"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting" #"intel"
    BusID "0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection

xrandr --listproviders

PRIME

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia-prime.conf.

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "intel"
    Option "AllowNVIDIAGPUScreens"

xrandr --listproviders

Provider 0: id: 0x221 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 6 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x1f8 cap: 0x0 crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-G0

I have tried both modeset 0 and 1

grep modeset /etc/modprobe.d/*

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf:options nvidia_drm modeset=0

In both configurations, the screen gets detected and remains black.
Is there a solution to my problem?

Please let me know if you need any further information to tackle this issue :)

Thanks for your help,
Marcel
