I’m runnin my notebook (Gell G15 5515) with a external HDMI display. About 2 days ago when i turned on the pc it wouldn’t boot screen. When i unplug the HDMI everything works just fine. If i plug the HDMI after logon both the internal and the external monitor goes black… I can still see the cursor and move it. With the alt+shift+f# key i can access other ttys but the screen won’t go back to normal untill i reboot.
My inxi -Fza is:
