I am trying to connect my laptop running LM 21 (information about the hardware below) to an old HP vs19 LCD monitor. The monitor has only VGA input, so I am using a HDMI to VGA converter. I read the "Tips for Troubleshooting Graphics Issues (including external monitors not working)" from this same topic (viewtopic.php?f=59&t=370633) but I am lost.
The HDMI to VGA converter works properly as I have used it with two other laptops (running W10 and W11) with no issues whatsoever, and I know that monitor is also working properly when I connect it through VGA, and also with the same HDMI to VGA converter, to another LM21 laptop (i7-4600u with integrated graphics).
I also tried connecting the i7-12700H laptop to a HDMI LENOVO L22e-20 monitor, at no avail.
The command "fwupdmgr get-upgrades" yields the following information:
Devices with no available firmware updates:
• MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC1AABHA
• System Firmware
• WD Blue SN570 1TB
Devices with the latest available firmware version:
• UEFI dbx
No updates available
I know that this particular laptop is currently running BIOS F.07 while apparently the latest and greatest is version F.10 Rev.A (https://support.hp.com/pt-pt/drivers/se ... 2101036122) but I have no way to update it in Linux as HP only supplies a .exe file.
Can you help me find a solution to this? I am currently running with the NVIDIA graphics card with "On-Demand" mode.
