Graphical Environments & Desktops • Re: Problem with nvidia driver and extra display on debian 13 dualboot laptop.

Hello again!

Install package inxi, then run in terminal inxi -Fxxxmprz

Post the command and it's output in code tags, which you get from the top line, black box which has </>.

An example:

Code:

The listing is longer, just showed you the procedure.

Inxi is a good tool to show specs without asking clarifying questions. Those xxx are there to hide any sensitive parts.

Hello again,
I tried the command and saw that I was using Wayland despite being convinced that I was on X11, I followed the instruction for setting up wayland with the nvivia driver from the wiki wiki and after a bit of tinkering everything seem to be working fine. Thanks for your help and sorry for having wasted your time.
