The Issue
After a great deal of trouble, I was able to get my graphics card to work on the latest Kernel for Linux Mint (5.15.0-52-generic as of today). See my post on this forum here for more details on my solution.
Anyway, even though I was able to get the graphics card to work with my new Kernel, I lost the ability to have a monitor attached with a USB-C to HDMI adapter (two known-good adapters tried) which worked before. Now, my system doesn’t even detect any monitor attached to that port.
I’ve gone over my history to see if I made a change that could have caused this while trying to fix the issue stated above but can’t seem to find anything amiss. I just don’t understand why the monitor isn’t even detected anymore.
I’m hoping someone can help investigate why the USB-C to HDMI adapter worked at one time then stopped. I’m at a glorious loss and will provide anyone smarter than me on this topic with any of the necessary logs, command outputs, and praise needed to get this figured out. Thanks
