When I install the proprietary Nvidia driver version 460 that is recommended for my GTX 2060 graphics card, my two external monitors work but my laptop monitor is disconnected. That would be fine but it remains disconnected even after unplugging the external monitors. If I delete /etc/x11/xorg.conf
the laptop monitor works but the external monitors are not detected. My thoughts are that the issue has something to do with xorg.conf.
Here is the output of xrandr:
