I am trying to discover how to enable an external monitor that I plug into my laptop. I am trying both 42.3 and 15. When I execute the xrandr command by itself is shows HDMI-2 disconnected. My laptop screen sometimes comes up as LVDS-1 unknown connection, where it certainly knew the connection when I started the system (should be connected primary)
I have tried various xrandr commands advertised to work, the simplest being sudo xrandr --auto. After many hours on google I always find the xrandr --auto solution. The Opensuse system settings widget only shows one display and no options to probe for others.
If I boot the system with the display attached it comes up correctly, so the monitor and cabling are good.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Some questions... What version of the OS? What display server? What machine, especially GPU? UEFI or BIOS? Have you updated your main board firmware? The last is my top tip -- I have often found it helps with stuff like this. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
