I've installed XFCE EndeavourOS on my work laptop. Long story short, the laptop does not currently detect external monitor, and I need to get this fixed.
Here's more details - The laptop's video cards include both an Intel HD Graphics 530, and an Nvidia Quadro M1000M. At first, after a clean install of EndeavourOS, the external monitor was detected and able to be used. However, there was screen tearing and the nvidia driver was not installed. So I installed the nvidia driver, causing the computer to boot to a black screen with blinking cursor. This was fixed by deleting the files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Logging in after this, the screen tearing was fixed, but the external monitor is no longer detected. So I uninstalled the nvidia driver, but the external monitor still cannot be detected.
Here is some diagnostic information:
Every time I plug in the external monitor a few lines get added to the xorg log. You can see several replugs recorded below:

xrandr doesn't see the monitor. It has the same output regardless of whether the monitor is plugged in. See below:
