HDMI not detected by xrandr

dinator

Hi all, I'm having an issue where HDMI doesn't show up in xrandr -q. The HDMI cable and monitor are not faulty, they work perfectly fine on my Windows drive. I'm on Plasma DE and am using Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop with Ryzen 5 4600h and GTX 1650ti. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Nvidia graphics drivers from Hardware Drivers preinstalled application a few times with no success as well as some different drivers from eopkg afterwards (nvidia-glx-drivers 32bit, common, current & modaliases). Radeon Profile app doesn't pick up integrated graphics but it does show only eDP output just like xrandr. I'm new to Linux and I would love to use my external monitor while on Solus. Is there anything I can try to do to fix this issue?

Can't actually help you, but I think searching for "nvidia prime display not found" or something similar will lead in the right direction.

Yeah, it may be the OS is using your integrated AMD GPU meanwhile the HDMI is available through the Nvidia GPU. As far as I know there's no switchable graphics solution in Solus, other than installing the NVIDIA driver through DoFlicky and then the NVIDIA GPU will be used instead. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

stalebrim I couldn't manage to disable AMD GPU (there was no option in BIOS and linux commands i tried were erroring), I tried to redownload drivers with DoFlicky once more and it didn't really work out, it actually broke my GUI upon removing them which it didn't do before, afterwords I tried installing drivers from Nvidia's official website for my GPU and Linux 64-bit and it didn't help out, the monitor did turn on for a split second tho when Nvidia's driver installer went to disable nouveau but GUI was still down and I couldn't get it back up with steps that were provided in some other forum posts.

dinator Have you actually rebooted after installing the drivers with DoFlicky?

stalebrim Yes, I rebooted after each and every driver install.
