Hello, I recently tried to install QubesOS on my laptop (with a GTX 3060 mobile) and encountered the same issue with the graphics drivers that I used to have on Fedora (booting with a black screen), which required me to blacklist the nouveau driver using the parameter nouveau.modeset=0 in Grub before installation… This workaround worked, and I was able to boot and successfully install QubesOS. However, my external monitor was not being detected, a common issue related to my GPU with Linux distros, requiring the installation of proprietary NVIDIA drivers for my external monitor to be detected. Following this guide (Nvidia driver installation - #2 by dhn) and this guide (Nvidia proprietary driver installation) to install the latest recommended version of the proprietary NVIDIA driver for my GPU (550.90.07 released on June 4th, which worked flawlessly with Linux Mint), I completed the installation successfully, as shown by the commands mentioned in the second referenced guide:
[user@dom0 ~]$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 60583936 0
[user@dom0 ~]$ lsmod | grep nouveau
[user@dom0 ~]$
Despite this, my external monitor remains undetected, whether I boot with it connected to my laptop or not, the xrandr command output consistently displayed only my laptop’s display, as shown below

I have experimented with various kernel versions and different NVIDIA driver versions on previous clean QubesOS installations, yet the issue persisted. I am unsure of what steps to take next. Can someone assist me in identifying the root cause and finding a solution to this problem?
