Lem453,

I have an atomic variant of fedora 40 (Aurora) and it just works on an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. I have a USB c dongle with HDMI out and it just works when I plug it in.

I also tried it on my steam deck dock the other day and it worked without issue.

noddy,

I don’t know specifically about the T470, but if you have an nvidia GPU, you might have issues depending on how the display outputs are connected to the GPUs. I had a T420s at some point with an nvidia GPU, and it was a PITA to get the display output to work on linux. I had to permanently enable the nvidia GPU for that to work (cutting battery life in half), because the display output was connected only to the nvidia GPU. I swore to never buy an nvidia product ever again after that experience.

FriedRice,

Thank you all for theanswerds im new into this, so i will find out what graphics driver i have. Brb

qaz,

Which Desktop Environment are you using?

bitwolf,

Did you install from Minimal or Everything isos?

You may need to install the firmware for the GPU if so.

bloodfart,

I don’t have a 470 in front of me. Did you push the “external display” function key combo or configure it in your desktop environment?

TheGrandNagus,

That’s quite strange. If you plug in a live USB, does it work with other distros? Does your system have an Nvidia GPU?

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

Nvidia or Intel GPU?

boredsquirrel,

HDMI should work out of the box.

GPU info needed

You shouldn’t need to activate anything.

just_another_person,

Look at the drivers and make sure a secondary display is available.

What’s your graphics driver?
