Hi

I have an HP Omen gaming laptop that has a hybrid driver set-uo i.e both Nvidia and Intel

The laptop is connected to a Toshiba Dynadock which in turn has an HDMI connection to a Dell monitor

When I was on linux mint Mate, I had no problem with dual screen - i.e it recognised it right aweay when I went into display settings

Thereafter, the Dell monitor came to life as soon as I got to boot password entry screen

Sadly, my monitor is not recognised in DDE

I downloaded the Graphic display manager utility which suggested I try bumblee

So I selected that option but it failed to boot properly initially and the system went back through another boot cycle before letting me log into desktop

I then got an error message that the Intel driver had been restored due to a problem with bumbleebee

Grateful for your advice

Regards

R

Caused by Xorg.

Have a look at :Xorg#Multiple_monitors - ArchWiki
