hi yall, thanks for any help yall can give. i have linux mint 21 and my tv hooked to the laptop.
Under display setting, it shows "unknown monitor" when i click "detect displays"
But IT JUST WONT SHOW ON MY TV DISPLAY.

The only thing i could find on prior threads is to bring resolution down to 800 x 600 which i did.
STILL NOTHING.

just started linux because i loathe g666gle and micr060606^^^^
but if i cant get this to work, i cant use linux.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP YALL

Does your laptop have an Fn button with a monitor-looking icon on it? Press Fn and toggle that and see if it helps.

Also, this is a PG13 site.

In mint, the usual switch is FN+F8, But some laptops will need to have the bios settings modified
 
G'day @yipekyo from DownUnder and welcome to linux.org :)

I may not be able to help you myself, but if you give us the make and model of the TV it may assist.

I agree with @wizardfromoz. Make and model of your TV?

Make and model of your laptop?

Method of connection? VGA? HDMI?

On my smart TV, you have to choose the "source" of the signal.
 
If you are using a laptop with a nvidia card you might want to check drivers.

Huh. I concur with @DexTheDog ; Nvidia has a reputation for being "awkward" in some important respects under Linux. The 'official' drivers are a must-have, 'cos the kernel's "nouveau" driver can't always cut the mustard.....
