External monitor not detected

[Ursavus]

I’ve been trying to get my laptop to connect to an external monitor, but it’s not working. When I use xrandr to check the display information, it only shows the information for edp1 which I assume is my laptop. It doesn’t show me any information about any other display port or displays connected to my laptop. The system settings don’t show anything related to the external monitor. The only thing that detects the external monitor is the nvidia xserver settings. I have no idea what to do and I can’t find anything online that helps.

When sharing information to either give or receive assistance, please be aware of the following: 1 ) In almost every situation not explicitly involving appearance, Text is preferred over Images. 2 ) When providing code or text output, please format it so the content is easy to read. How to Format “Code” in the Forum Its easy to make your text and code easy on the eyes Firs…

At the least we need hardware details. If the machine has hybrid graphics you may need to create a virtual device.
