[Alexandre Rames <alexandre.rames@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I tried installing the NVIDIA dirvers again. And again, the HDMI does
not work...

I am on archlinux. I installed NVIDIA drivers 290.10.
Neither nvidia-settings nor the built-in "Display and Monitor"
recognize my external screen when plugged with HDMI. But everything
works fine with the VGA.
Any ideas there?

Also, although I tried to backup my libglx.xorg file before installing
the NVIDIA drivers, the intel graphics are broken.
Restoring the libglx.so to point to the intel libglx.xorg does not fix it.
Have I missed files to backup?
Any ideas how to fix that without reformatting?

Thanks!

Alexandre
