As a fan of MX Linux I was looking out for the upcoming release hoping it would support the above mentioned laptop and of course specifically the graphics card. Until then I played a bit with Pop!OS but.. it could not convince me. The graphics did work great for sure, and with the RC/final release of MX 21 I was glad noticing the graphics card is nicely supported using the proprietary driver.

However: unfortunately I noticed trying to link the laptop to my 32" monitor it did not work at all. The prior MX Linux (19.4), using my former laptop. did (and still does) that very well, so I am hoping to get this new laptop completely up and running.

Any suggestion on how to revive the second screen is welcome, I do miss something like nvidia-prime for example, allowing me to select which graphics card to use.. with only the internal screen it does work flawlessly using the prime-run command..

The current status:

After searching and trying around I ran into this article:
https://9to5linux.com/how-to-connect-yo ... gnal-issue

I did:
sudo cp -p /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf (since no nvidia.conf existed)
..and edited the copied file as mentioned in the linked article.

At least there was a difference booting the system:
- now the laptop screen remained black
- the monitor showed my desktop

However: this time the internal screen was not detected so in fact I moved the display/problem only.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to enable -both- displays?

Well, given the number of suggestions (0) it seems to be a serious problem. So I switched back to Pop!_OS again, supporting the hardware out of the box.

I'll keep my eyes open to see if MX Linux will be able to deal with it in the future!
