Second monitor shows only black screen and cursor

Post by Vo88bg »

Hello,

I am experiencing issues with the second monitor. It shows only black screen and cursor.
I have already tried to fix it, using methods from old topics of the forum, but with no success.
I have also updated the kernel and everything seems to be detected just fine.
I am running my Linux mint on Lenvo L340 laptop. below you will find inxi and xrandr outputs

Re: Second monitor shows only black screen and cursor

Post by mikaelrask »

Hey vo88bg and welcome to the forum and linux mint. i'm no expert but what happens if you press windows button + letter p on your keyboard does the second monitor get any picture then? alternative open up the display program in mint and see if you can set the first monitor to mirror to the second monitor. and third is the HDMI cable properly attached to the second monitor?

good luck

Hi, Mikael,

I tried to mirror the display earlier and it didn't work. Yet I tried your last suggestion and I unplugged and plugged back the HDMI.
It displayed the mirrored picture, but it was "frozen". In other words, if I was interacting with the interface, nothing was moving except the cursor.

Thanks for your answer!

I managed to resolve it by myself. I simply went to the driver manager and selected the recommended driver.
