I’ve noticed that my secondary monitor usually doesn’t turn on initially. In order to get it to turn on, I can do a restart after the initial boot and then it will turn on. Any idea what might be causing this or how to fix it? The monitor is hooked up through the laptop’s hdmi port.

Fedora 42

KDE Plasma

    It does have it’s own power button. When shutting down, the monitor does stay on for a few seconds with the ‘no signal’ message, but then turns off (the LED power indicator goes from blue to orange).

    I don’t have another computer to test it with at the moment.

    I can try booting with just the software rendering, but I’m not sure how to do this in Fedora. In Pop os, there were options under the power menu to choose graphics settings. Fedora seems to handle this automatically(?)
