Hi, I have a problem with my second monitor. My second monitor worked perfectly. Until a kernel update (not the last one, but the one before the last one). From that point my second monitor works and don’t works randomly how it feels (I have no idea why it starts or stops working). Fedora has a problem detecting it as a output device. The problem is not in my monitor, on Win11 and PopOS worked fine. I tried reinstalling my nvidia drivers. Reinstalled whole FedoraOS, didn’t help. After a reboot there is a chance that it magically start detecting the monitor.
Fedora 40 xfce spin x11
I have NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070-ti mobile
Drivers version 550.90.07
Also I have an integrated GPU in Intel i7-12700H
The second monitor is an older LG television that I’m using for few years as a second monitor, but as I said, on other OSes it works fine.
I’ll be glad for any type of help.
Please post the output of both dnf list installed \*nvidia\* and inxi -Fzxx by copying and pasting using the preformatted text button </> on the text window toolbar. That may give us enough info to assist.

Now my second monitor didn’t worked for a weak. Still an issue.
The 555.58.02 driver was released by rpmfusion on Friday. Upgrade that and it should start working again.
It doesn’t work with upgraded nvidia drivers. Also It no longer works from time to time. It used to work for like 1 or 2 restarts (Like after a restart there was like a 10 % chance that the second monitor’d work (sounds weird but well It worked that way)). Now it won’t work no matter what, but on my dual boot Win11 the second monitor still works without issues.
But thank you for some sort of help.
There’s been a bug with Nvidia GPU’s and a second monitor recently. Could you try to, unplug the second monitor, then shutdown and plug back the monitor, and then boot up the machines.
I tried it multiple times, it didn’t help, but thank you for some help.
Time and updates fixed it, now it works 10/10 tries.
