Hi,
I am new to Fedora and Linux in general. I have a Lenovo P50 with Fedora 31 that I have been using for daily work, but I can’t make it detect an external monitor.
I have tried some solutions that I found in this forums, and maybe is because my lack of knowledge but none have worked.
Can you help me figure out what’s wrong? Or what can I try?
Here is the general information about my pc,
card model
✝ /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d /sbin/lspci | grep -e VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)

That nvidia.conf.bk is there because I tried this https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-31-nvidia-prime-laptop-gnome-display-settings-and-xrandr-fails-to-detect-external-monitor-but-nvidia-settings-can-see-it/69108/7 solution but didn’t work. After restarting, it showed the booting up process but it never showed the login screen.
