I'm having trouble getting my second monitor to work with my Fedora 41 setup on my laptop. Using an AMD iGPU, the monitor isn't recognized when I connect it via HDMI. This is a fresh install, and I've set up Fedora for my office job. The weird part is that it works fine when I boot into Windows 11—so I'm pretty sure the HDMI cable isn't faulty. I know some people have issues with NVidia GPUs needing special drivers, but since I have a Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U with Radeon graphics, I'm not sure if that's relevant. The external monitor doesn't show up in my display settings, and I'm unfamiliar with which terminal commands I should use to troubleshoot this. I've searched online, but most solutions seem to target NVidia setups or other common display issues. Can anyone help me figure out why my second monitor isn't connecting?

Always a good tip to mention your distro and hardware specs when asking for help! That helps others provide better suggestions. Just a thought for next time!
Some people suggest upgrading to Fedora 42 if you’re facing issues with 41. If you're comfortable with keeping everything updated, it could fix this kind of problem. Let me know if you’ve tried that, and if it worked for you!
Have you tried using the 'xrandr' command in the terminal? It can show you the current display settings and might help diagnose the issue. Also, running 'sudo inxi -G' gives you good info about your graphics setup. That might shed some light on what's going wrong.
