Hello everyone, I have an issue with my Laptop. I am using Acer Swift 3 with a dual boot system with Windows and Linux Mint 21. I have a 2nd Display connected via an USB C (Thunderbolt 4) Hub. Between the Hub and the Monitor is a HDMI cable. Linux detects the second Display and I am able to move windows to it but the display stays black. (At least 95 times of 100 sometimes It magically works but I haven't figured out why...) In Windows however everything works perfectly fine. As far as I am aware I have the up to date drivers installed. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

No, the selected source isn't displayed correctly on the screen.

Adjust Mint’s display options as needed. I personally rely on XFCE on FreeBSD and Void Linux, which consistently manage multiple monitors effectively.

You need to adjust a few things. Please let me know if you'd like the translation of anything.

For entertainment, experiment with the "mirror display" setting rather than "Bildschirme verbinden." If it activates the screen, return to the "extend" display choice you're using and test further. Curious about terms like Drehung and Querformat—what other settings are available?

Ich verstehe Deutsch gut, also ist das kein Problem. Du kannst 'Als Hauptbildschirm einstellen' deaktivieren. Danach wählst du die zweite Bildschirmschaltung im Auswahlfeld aus und aktivierst sie als Hauptbildschirm. Unter 'Einstellungen' siehst du die verfügbaren Optionen.

The command output will display the current display settings in your terminal, such as resolution, refresh rate, and device configuration.
