pomon I expect that you could ask the data you need to help me, as I clearly don't know what to provide

    GZGavinZhao As far as I can tell, it has to do with Wayland and NVidia drivers.

    I formatted again, and it recognized the second monitor. I have an NVidia GTX 1050 Ti.

    After updating everything I was able to use it. But since OBS Studio doesn't work nicely with Wayland(the shortcuts don't work, I think due to Wayland "compartimentalizing" each app, like "sandboxing" them). So I changed to Gnome Xorg from the login menu.

    And now Solus doesn't recognize my second monitor again, even when I come back to Wayland

        henriiquecampos Ah, so you're on Wayland, not Xorg. Still, I think the same logic might apply: if you have an iGPU and the HDMI port can only connect to the iGPU, then you may not be able to reliably connect to your 2nd (Nvidia) GPU, which is what happened to me.

        Would you mind sharing the output of: linux-driver-management status?

        Also, if you have not tried searching for "wayland gual GPU gnome", perhaps you will find some helpful reddit posts and such.

            tflovik For my model (Legion 5 15ACH6A) it is in the BIOS settings menu. It's literally the first thing that pops up in my BIOS menu. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to switch between iGPU and dGPU mode after booting.

                GZGavinZhao There are solutions that work in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian that i have tried that work on Lenovo Legion for switching between igpu and dgpu.
                I have proposed that the Solus team include the package envycontrol in the distro to allow this, but unfortunately nobody have been assigned to look into this. I requested this on Github.

                  GZGavinZhao sorry for the late reply, can you still help me?

                  This is what I get using the command you suggested:

                  I switched to X Org btw, but still having troubles

                    How can I get support on this, the issue persists. Solus 4.5 Xorg doesn't recognize my HDMI display but Wayland does

                      Did you already file an issue on github? I found this similar issue . If it is, please add a comment with your system specification and detailed steps to reproduce your problem. If your problem is different, please file another issue here so maintainer can track it better. Cheers!

                      Justin Yes, I'm a game developer and Wayland prevents most of my tools from accessing NVIDIA or working properly.

                      For instance, OBS doesn't process inputs unless the window is active, whereas in Xorg I can use the shortcuts to record footage in real time.

                      Godot Engine doesn't recognize NVIDIA there as well.
