Fedora 38 blank screen on laptop, but external display works

Hi,

I am currently using a Gigabyte Aero 15X i7-8750 with Fedora 38, but the laptop screen will not show anything. Once an external monitor is plugged in, I can log in using the external monitor, but the laptop display will not come up. In settings => Displays, the only the external monitor is recognized. This issue is with Fedora 38 kernel-core-6.4.7-200.fc38.x86_64. The only other good kernel that works for me is kernel-core-6.2.15-200.fc37.x86_64. When I boot up choosing that option, the complete opposite problem happens and only the laptop display shows up and the external monitor will not be recognized. Oddly enough, once in a while, the external display will be recognized but it’s random.

Maybe the external display has been configured as primary and thus is the only one started when booting.

One could try using the gnome settings and configure the displays as mirrored so both should mimic the other (mirror its display). If that works and keeps both active then try different configs.

This also may be related to the particular gpu config in the laptop as well as whether using xorg or wayland for the DE.

Please post the output of inxi -Fzxx as preformatted text using the </> button on the toolbar so we may see the hardware and driver config.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for helping me out! I’m unable to mirror the displays as the laptop display will not show up under Settings => Displays.

I’ve pasted the output of the requested command below.

All that inxi output looks good. It does show that you are using wayland for the DE.

The symptoms remind me of the fact that by default some laptops enable the external monitor on the dGPU only and the laptop screen on the iGPU only. This can cause problems such as you are describing, but can be modified with the proper config files.

Did you enable the use of the nvidia gpu as primary as shown here?

The file that is copied there has a line that enables use of the nvidia gpu to drive both the internal screen and the external screen in this stanza.

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier "layout"
	Option "AllowNVIDIAGPUScreens"
EndSection

However, due to its design and location that only works when using the xorg DE and not with wayland.

Maybe one could try that and see if there is a difference.

I haven’t tried that, but I can give that a go when I’m back on my laptop. What I don’t get is why would this happen now with the current kernel that’s installed but not other previous kernels? Did something change recently that would cause the iGPU to act up?

6

I gave this a go, but the laptop screen will won’t show anything. Just to try it out, on the log in screen, I did click the little icon gear and choose “GNOME on Xorg”, but that distorted by external monitor to an extreme degree and laptop screen was still black, so I logged out. Logged back in with the gear icon selected to “GNOME” and I’m back to where I started.

I’m seeing something similar. My laptop is an Acer Predator Helios 300, with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti. I’m using the Nvidia drivers 535.86 from RPM Fusion. When I boot into Fedora 38 using kernel 6.3.x, the built-in display and external monitor are both fully functional. When I boot using kernel 6.4.x, the internal display is not recognized at all but the external monitor seems to work properly. Furthermore, the virtual consoles you normally get to with Ctrl+Alt-F1, F2, etc. work normally using kernel 6.3.x, but are not available using 6.4.x.

I think the problem is that in the kernel 6.4.x packages, some obsolete console frame-buffer code has been removed, and the Nvidia drivers malfunction because it’s not there. I’ve seen suggested workarounds where you add options to the kernel command line, but none of them work for me.

I found a relevant bug report: 2224839 – 6.4.4 nvidia driver 535.54.03 doesnt work after kernel update

This one is old and may not be relevant: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2071209

I installed a fresh copy of Fedora hoping it would help. It comes with kernel version 6.2.9-300.fc38.x86_64, which works with my primary display and external display, but tends to not recognize the external display sometimes. Running sudo dnf update after a fresh install took me to kernel-core-6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64, but the same primary display issue occurs. I might have to keep running sudo dnf update hoping a kernel comes out in the future that fixes the primary display issue.

I’m getting the same thing. ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3., Fedora 38, previously updated a week ago and everything was fine, updated this evening, and now i have no laptop screen. If i open the Display control panel in Cinnamon, only the external monitor appears.

I’m on kernel 6.4.12-200.fc38, and i believe i was on 6.3.12-200.fc38 before. I suppose this means that Wayland is involved now (full inxi output will follow):

I have set the discrete NVIDIA graphics as primary as documented, by adding Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" in the appropriate place.

From the inxi output, it looks like the NVIDIA driver “failed”, and mesa and nouveau are being used:

This shows the nvidia driver loaded.
Your lsmod | grep nvidia output shows the same.

Have you rebooted since the update to the newest nvidia drivers?.
The inxi output shows the 535.98 driver and your dnf list installed '*nvidia*' output shows the 535.104.05 version. Once the update is complete it is mandatory that the reboot is done so the loaded drivers match the installed software versions.

My first suggestion would be to reboot so the loaded driver is the latest installed. I saw the text in my terminal window go to just undefined rectangles when that newer driver was installed and before I rebooted.

Jeff you are spot on! After making that post, i rebooted, hoping to boot into an older kernel, but failed to get the GRUB menu up, and so came back into 6.4.12. But now everything works.

And i have two displays again.

I did the update which caused all the trouble using:

dnf -y offline-upgrade download
dnf offline-upgrade reboot

Which i have read is the way to ensure that updates go smoothly. Evidently not! So i have to do that, and then, without taking any further action, reboot again?

Several have noted issues when doing the offline updates: Apparently the offline update does not wait adequate time between installing a kernel or driver needing compiled and actually doing the reboot. As such, yes it may not be proper with the nvidia drivers to do the offline update when it involves the kernel or driver version updates since the compile of the driver is mandatory before the new drivers can be loaded and become effective. The drivers are loaded during boot and if the older version is available and the new one is not then issues may occur.

When booting, the normally hidden grub menu may be accessed by holding the shift key down just after the bios splash screen disappears so it forces grub to display the menu.

Same issue. My laptop is an HP Fury 15, with an Nvidia Quadro T2000. I’m using the Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion. Initially, it seems that after installing the drivers, the integrated video card was still used, but the animations were laggy, so I solved the problem by disabling Wayland in /etc/gdm/custom.conf. The animations have become pleasant, but the laptop monitor is black, only the cursor is blinking. The external monitor works great. As far as I know, the kernel version is 6.4.x, should I try another?

I’ve been able to fix my issue with running the latest update via sudo dnf update. It looks like kernel version 6.4.15-200.fc38.x86_64 is working properly with the laptop monitor displaying. I jumped from 6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64 to 6.4.15-200.fc38.x86_64 if anyone else is curious.

Hi there,

I have a similar problem on Thinkpad X1 Carbon, but my driver is Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 … This issue happened when I updated to 6.4.15-200.fc38.x86_64 and installed the Bias update. Besides the Display, my keyboard has stopped working as well!
