Hi All;
I'm running Fedora 21 on a Dell M3800 laptop, been working great. Updating to the latest kernel however breaks my external display i.e. I plug the external monitor in and nothing happens, previous to the update when I plug in the external monitor the system would auto configure the second screen and I could use both monitors.
I've googled the issue but not found anything.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm not running F21 anymore so I'm not sure if this apply but, did you check the updates-testing repo? Kernel 4.1.5 has been working very nice since the last couple of weeks or so.
Cheers

Update:
I'm actually updated to kernel 4.1.5-100, as opposed to the 4.1.4 indicated in my subject line.
Also when I plug in the external monitor I get this via dmesg:
[ 49.612966] nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO write of 0x00000002 FAULT at 0x4188ac [ IBUS ]

Several thoughts come to mind...
1. What desktop are you using? GNOME. KDE, xfce, something else? 2. Did you try going back to a working kernel? 3. It seems as if you're saying you've booted without the monitor attached and plug it in later? Yes? If so, have you tried booting with the monitor already attached? Or, attaching the monitor and then logging out/in?

KDE

Yes, I had an rsync of the system from before the updae, running now with kernel 4.0.8-200 and it works
- It seems as if you're saying you've booted without the monitor attached and plug it in later? Yes? If so, have you tried booting with the monitor already attached? Or, attaching the monitor and then logging out/in?
I've tried all of the above with the updated kernel, no luck. The second screen remains blank and I cannot move the mouse past the edge of the laptop screen irrespective of if I boot / login with the monitor attached or not
I'm running the nouveau driver and an lspci shows I have this video card: NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M] (rev a1)

OK....
I think I see what is happening as I ran into this a while back myself and just tested it on an Acer Laptop running F22/KDE
Bring up "System Settings" and go to "Hardware--->Display and Monitior-->Display Configuration". Assuming you see both monitors, make sure they are aligned as they are physically. Position them and hit apply.
Then move your mouse to the "blank" monitor. If it is want I think it is, the arrow pointer will "disappear". Then right click and with any luck a dialog box will appear and you'll be able to select either "Desktop" or "Folder View" settings an pick a background. Initially, I found that the background is "black" and it just looks like the display is not working.

No dice, the display section of the system settings only shows the laptop screen

Also, make sure they aren't stacked. Move the screen in the display to see if the external monitor is below it. I also had that happen to me.
I checked that as well, no luck
actually I have 2 laptops with the same issue, a Dell M3800 and an ASUS zenbook, with kernel 4.1.x I have no external monitor capability

The Dell M3800 works fine for me with kernel 4.1.6.

Running F22/KDE 4.1.6-200.fc22.x86_64 and the nVidia drivers via rpmfusion on an old Acer 4290, no bumblebee, no problems with an external monitor.
I am runningthe default F22 kernel. M3800 did not require much tweaking from what I recall from my install.
