I have a somewhat similar situation to acmarkes. I just upgraded my computer with a new AMD CPU with integrated graphics(with HDMI output). I have my old Nvidia discrete GTX 1070, that I have to keep using for now. I bought a discrete AMD GPU, but it is too big to fit in my current case, so I have to keep using the GTX 1070 until I can buy a new case.
I have two monitors. One is connected to the AMD iGPU over HDMI, and the other to the GTX 1070 over display port. Using the newest v4.5 KDE Plasma ISO, the live environment runs fine and Solus installs. I then used DoFlicky to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers, including the 32-bit ones, and rebooted my computer. Long story short the display connected to the GTX 1070 is blank and not receiving a signal if I have the proprietary drivers installed. Only the AMD driver is listed by the xrandr --listproviders command. As soon as I uninstall the proprietary Nvidia drivers and reboot, the monitor works normally.
Is it even possible to run both the AMD and proprietary Nvidia drivers at the same time? I read through some of the forum posts and online information about switching between integrated and discrete GPUs on Optimus systems, but that isn't really what I'm trying to do.
Hopefully this is a short term issue until I can replace the GTX 1070 with my newer AMD discrete GPU, but if anyone has some suggestions to try that would allow me to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers until then I'd certainly welcome them. Thanks.
