From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora uBlue:main would not detect BenQ smartboard (discuss.tchncs.de)

I recently had to show a presentation at a client's location and they were using a Benq smartboard. I tried to connect to the monitor with my laptop running uBlue:main but while the monitor would detect that something has been plugged into it and switch to the HDMI input, my laptop refused to detect that it was connected to anything. Fortunately, I had backed up the presentation on an external drive so we connected my colleague's windows laptop and gave the presentation.

Now what I am curious about is why my laptop would not detect the smartboard as a video output. Do display outs have to be added to some kind whitelist? If I wanted to file a bug report for the same, where should the report be filed? In the kernel development, in the mesa project or somewhere else?

System specs :-

Ryzen 5 5600H + Radeon RX5500M
HDMI 2.1 port on the laptop
Fedora Silverblue - uBlue:main
Kernel version 6.11.10 (at the time)
Mesa version 24.2.x (don't exactly know which version was running at the time i think it was 24.2.8)

I don't know if this is relevant but my BenQ monitor will only turn on for Bazzite when I disconnect all other HDMI connectors and its the only screen left.
