fedora35/kde on an old macbook pro with i5-2435m and 3000hd graphics.
i’m trying to connect a tv as a second monitor via mini-dp to hdmi cable, but the tv shows no signal and the display settings in kde does not detect any monitor.
i don’t know what to look for exactly, but with generic googling i managed to find out that some people with similar problem have driver problems, specifically with nvidia, so nothing for me here, but here’s the inxi -G command anyway, it shows as follows:
