Hi there, I performed a clean install of CachyOS and while in live mode both monitors were working, as soon as I installed it to the system the second monitor is just a black screen. The monitor is detected, it just doesn’t turn on. I don’t know if it helps or if it is a known issue, I am using an older Nvidia 1050ti card. I have searched everywhere and tried all kinds of solutions, nothing helped. If you could please assist in any way, that would be much appreciated. Thanks.
What monitor is this? Can you also share the rest of your hardware specifications? Thank you.
Hi Naim, I am kind of a begginer Linux user, I mean I have been using Linux as Vm’s for a while, but finally installed it on my real hardware as I want to fully switch.
Here is the output for my hardware:

And a screenshot for the monitors:
I have read on a couple of more posts that it seems like it is an issue with the Nvidia 565 drivers since my second monitor is connected through a DVI → HDMI adapter, same issue they had in 555, but I don’t know how to go downgrade to earlier drivers.
Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks
