Can't detect external monitor on fedora 31

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)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] (rev a2)

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.

Thank you for any information or help

For anyone who comes across this post, the problem was the 20-intel.conf file. I just needed to delete it and use the nvidia.conf
