I updated a couple of days ago, and started having this problem recently (I’ve honestly been busy so I can’t remember if this started immediately after updating):
I boot into my system and my second monitor is just a black screen that will show the mouse cursor if I move it over to that monitor. This is after switching the monitor to a DisplayPort cable… previously I used a HDMI cable plugged into my motherboard (I had to do some previous stuff when the nvidia drivers seemed to disagree with the last round of system updates).
I am booting into Kernel version 6.3.9-1-default, and that’s the oldest one I have. It seems that with another install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, it deleted the other kernel versions I had in grub (or maybe it was something else?)
The system is using Nvidia Drivers Version 535.104.05-11.1
inxi -zaG outputs (if this helps/matters):
