I recently had a problem with my Linux Mint installation, and decided to migrate to Debian 11 using a stable distribution, with nonfree drivers, and everything is working well except for the second monitor that I can't get to work properly. The issue I'm facing is quite similar to the one this guy is describing here, so I'm following the same structure he used.
I'm using an Acer Nitro AN515-51 laptop, and here's my devices:
Code: Select all
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev a1)
Code: Select all
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x43 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0xd4 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
The closest I got to make the second screen working, was when I included a nvidia.conf inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, but then the laptop monitor screen gone black and I had to remove the file to revert it.
So, how can I get my second monitor working properly?
Thanks in advance
Obs.: zamek42, the guy from the other post is probably gonna benefit from the answers here, but as I said, it's slightly different, and you could take a look on his topic here
