eDP doesn't show up on the active monitors list

[std-enigma]

I have a hybrid‑GPU laptop (iGPU on card0, NVIDIA on card1).

I connected a very large, high‑resolution, high‑refresh-rate external monitor to the laptop.

When Hyprland runs on the iGPU, the external monitor is extremely laggy, so I tried prioritizing the NVIDIA GPU by doing export AQ_DRM_DEVICES="/dev/dri/card1:/dev/dri/card0"in uwsm environment variables.

But after doing this, my laptop’s internal display (eDP) stopped showing up in hyprctl monitors.

Is there a proper way to make Hyprland render on the NVIDIA GPU for smooth performance while still keeping the internal laptop display visible and usable?

Increase the frequency of the iGPU's clock, either manually through /sys/class or using the performance or balanced power profiles.
