HDMI port not detected Leap 15.6, only built in display

khaim0919 · July 16, 2024, 1:46am

I am trying to connect an external monitor to my ROG G513RC laptop on Leap 15.6. It is not detecting the HDMI port at all in xrandr. I have been able to use the HDMI port on Windows, first time trying on Leap and it is not working. I have updated to the most recent version and restarted multiple times.

@khaim0919 Hi and welcome to the Forum
So the nvidia GPU is 3D or VGA (see the driver is N/A), can you post the output from /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EA3 "VGA|Display|3D Can you also check if suse-prime is installed?

khaim0919 · July 16, 2024, 1:55am

Thank you!

Here is the output of sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EA3 "VGA|Display|3D"

I checked with trying the prime-select command and it is not installed on my computer but I have the option to through zypper.

malcolmlewis · July 16, 2024, 2:23am

@khaim0919 OK, no, you shouldn’t need, but need to work out why the driver for the nvidia GPU, which since it’s VGA is likely powering the HDMI port. If you log out from GNOME and select GNOME on Xorg. Does it start working? xrandr --listproviders and xrandr --listmonitors should show everything?

malcolmlewis · July 16, 2024, 2:25am

@khaim0919 also where did the 530 driver come from, it’s not an rpm version, did you install via the run file or cuda run file?

khaim0919 · July 16, 2024, 2:43am

Opened with GNOME on Xorg and it does show more. It says I have 0 providers on the regular GNOME but 1 on the GNOME on Xorg. Heres the dump:

The 530 driver was from the asus website for my specific laptop. It was the Mediatek Bluetooth Driver as I was having issues with bluetooth, after installation bluetooth started to work well.

malcolmlewis · July 16, 2024, 2:48am

@khaim0919 You need to install the ones for openSUSE… I suspect then things will run right. Bluetooth is another issue not related to the GPU, maybe was soft blocked via the keyboard keys, can check that with rfkill list

khaim0919 · July 16, 2024, 3:02am

rfkill list reads no blocks as it did before adding the bluetooth driver. When I try to install the new recommended it says that it is already installed.

malcolmlewis · July 16, 2024, 12:11pm

@khaim0919 It’s hard to tell if that wheter is a MUX or MUXless vga for the Nvidia…

So, all those drivers are for Windows, not Linux? How did you install the 530 driver?

khaim0919 · July 16, 2024, 7:43pm

It came as an .exe and I was just able to run it fine. Just an install wizard. I’m thinking I should wipe everything and try again. It hasn’t been too long with this and I was expecting it to take a while to get into Linux. Might have messed something up with downloading and running the Windows driver even though it worked for part of the system.

malcolmlewis · July 16, 2024, 8:58pm

@khaim0919 don’t know what you did then, maybe wine or such, but exe files are for windows…

Anyway, you should add the Nvidia repositories and install the rpm versions see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers and have a read first there is a Leap section for adding the repository etc.
