11:40 a.m.
All;
I picked up a new laptop yesterday, a Dell XPS 17 - DELL X9720
12700H/32/1/17P
See the output of lspci below
Here are the issues I am trying to solve:
1) If i do not install the NVIDIA drivers then a second monitor does not
work, if I do install the NVIDIA drivers then I get a screen flicker on
the laptop screen about every minute
2) VMWare workstation does not work with kernel 5.19.13-200.fc36.x86_64,
I have tried the patch found here:
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
I have disabled secure boot but the vmmon module will not load. VMWare
starts but if I try to start a VM I get this message:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.
Thanks in advance for any help
