Hello. I have installed LARBS on an fresh Artix Linux installation with a Cinnamon DE.

When I activate it with startx, my second monitor goes dark. It's still recognized by the PC (it doesn't go into stand by) but it just won't show anything at all.

I see this is an old issue, judging by a blog entry from 2020 (click here)

I had the same problem. what worked for me is removing kms from the HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and then running mkinitcpio -P (you might need to run it with sudo) and then rebooting (also make sure your 2nd screen is configured properly. easiest way to do that is run arandr and configure it with that. also the screen configuration is not permanent, it wont survive a restart.) this is where I found the solution
