Hello,
I’ve got an older laptop (Dell Latitude E6410) that I’ve been trying to get Garuda to work on but when I install Nvidia drivers it doesn’t want to recognize my display properly and shows it as “Unknown-1” in display settings, leaving me unable to change the resolution and overall behaving oddly. I used the Garuda Setup Assistant to install the Nvidia driver. I did try booting with the LTS kernel just to see if it would help, but got the same result as on the zen kernel.
In display settings itself, it shows the monitor as:
Unknown-1 (800x600)
and does not give me much else to work with. I have read through some posts on here and tried using X11 instead of weyland but was met with the same issue.
