Hi EndeavourOS Forum,
just installed the latest greatest EndeavourOS on my old HP 8710w with the Nvidia FX 1600M. The native driver for the graphics card (340.xxx) is no more supported, so the Nouveau driver is in use. Unfortunately I cannot bring my HDMI(-1) monitor to live

One of the things I tried was
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto
nothing happens, no switching no error
Any chances to get the HDMI monitor back to work?
Or is there a chance to get the “Nvidia 340.108” driver back into play? I came along https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx with patch for kernel 6.5 . What are the steps to to build/apply this module?
Thx
