Use multiple monitors

[mshzsh]

I have hyperland installed on my laptop and when I connect an external monitor it does not work, and even inside arandr does not recognize it while wlr-randr show monitor name, the laptop graphic card is Nvidia and I did all the settings and when I switch to bspwm everything works properly

wlr-randr output :

This is a known issue with Nvidia Optimus hybrid graphics laptops that affects all wlroots-based compositors. There are some potential workarounds in the wiki, but no great solutions at this time.

As a side note, arandr is an X11 utility and won't work properly under Wayland. wdisplays is a similar graphical utility for wlroots, but it is typically advised to do as much configuration as possible in the hyprland config.

Hopefully one day Nvidia will be properly supported in wayland.
Thank you!
