I have been trying to bring life back to my old Macbook Pro with different Linux distros. Mint worked pretty good, but slow; Elementary was pretty, but not too crisp. Manjaro xfce (6.9.5-1-MANJARO) has been the best so far, except for one little detail: double screen is not working.
It was a problem back in Mint, and I cannot recall if in Elementary as well.
So far, nothing I have tried works. My Linux knowledge is also a bit limited, to be honest. It seems that the port itself is not recognized by the operating system. I got the external screen to show something back in Mint, but with a ton of flickering. Manjaro does not even connects with the screen.
xrandr shows

There should be a LVDS-2, as far as I know.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue? It is kind of critical for my workflow.
Thanks!
