Hi,
I have a MSI laptop with Fedora 31 5.5.11-200.fc31.x86_64 and XFCE running. I installed latest NVIDIA drivers for GTX1070 using the following guide:
After rebooting, the HDMI output on the laptop works and displays my desktop environment appropriately. However the laptop monitor remains blank or only shows the boot / init sequence. I believe that NVIDIA should be able to drive both, because I have a dual boot windows 10 installation that works for both monitors. But on the nix side, the laptop monitor isn’t being recognized.
