1

Built in monitor is fine, but second monitor is blank. I am using the nvidia proprietary driver.
Intel HD 630 GPU
Nvidia Geforce 1050 Ti discrecte GPU

Any ideas on how to fix this, or how to switch between cards for display ?

2

Which version of the nvidia driver is installed?
Was nvidia installed from rpmfusion? or ?
Are you using wayland or xorg?

Please post the output of inxi -Fzxx so we can see some of the details.

I cannot help, except to say that there have been several issues with doing a modular install using the fedora-cuda repo to install the nvidia driver.

In most cases I have dealt with, the fix was to completely remove those drivers and start over with reinstalling the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion as is the recommended source for those drivers.

Another recommendation and procedure is here

I personally have never used the fedora-cuda repo and the nvidia drivers have always worked extremely well for me.

You are using a laptop with dual GPU and I followed this to make the nvidia GPU work best on my laptop.

Thanks, I will do that. May I ask what is the recommended way to remove the drivers ?

Installed by dnf, remove by dnf.
