Yes, I was following this in early 2024 before it begun to work fine (my related "working" post is on august 2024) :

Solved Post in thread 'Optimus nVidia/Intel (MSI GL65) : unable to get dual screen to work'

I GOT IT TO WORK !! (only took me one year ; I have better experience, that helps a lot...)

Today, I tried new things as some package upgrade crashed my X unclean "dual screen" setup on XFCE (internal screen working, external black with the mouse moving on it) and I eventually make the dual screen to work on this model, testing progressively lots of my manually made Xorg conf files, which are now useless (target achieved). Here are my working setup, I hope it can help other MSI laptop users.
Works for me on 14.1-RELEASE-p3 on XFCE4.
The only caveat I noticed is that it overheats a bit...

Here are my latest tests regarding only the i915kms part :
  • empty kldlist or with "drm" only : X starts, running LLVM, on the laptop screen only.
  • kldlist with "i915kms" only : X won't start. Connection refused, cannot run in framebuffer.
I'm not sure the nvidia part is the problem.
 
On my Fujitsu Celsius H7510 laptop, I can switch off OPTIMUS mode in BIOS setup. and only use the included Nvidia quadro T1000 mobile GPU.
Issue here seems to be the conflict between the two GPUs.
Can you disable OPTIMUS mode on this laptop ?
