Hi,
I’m new to Manjaro and a beginner in Linux - I bought recently a new Lenovo Legion 5 laptop and installed Manjaro (I had the same problems also with Ubuntu and Mint).
I’m having an issue with using a second monitor, depending on what kind of driver I have (I tried different combinations):
-
nvidia proprietary ones - it doesn’t boot if the second monitor is plugged in, if I unplug it before I start the laptop and then connect it, it’s working I can see the second screen then
-
open source drivers - boots if the the second monitor is plugged in on startup, but if I start without the monitor being connected it doesn’t start - hangs on a black screen
I also have an issue with not being able to use the touch-pad or change the screen brightness (but these I can survive).
I checked some posts in the forum, troubleshooting guides, but most of the solutions look like they’re quite tailor-made to the setup of the laptop.
Would anyone be able to help? Pasted some of the details below, not sure what can be useful to debug.
I’d be very grateful if I could get it to work properly.
Regards,
Szymon
