hdmi works fine for HP Envy (two different laptops, one with 22.04 and one with 20.04 ), and another one with exactly same (Clonezilla) partition of ASUS TUF 22.04.

On a smaller monitor HDMI I can get, switching to xorg (X11) full screen but severely bad quality. I did have half a screen earlier on. System bogged down a lot too, mouse and keyboard. On a larger 60" TV, nothing Wayland or X11.

Nothing for either on Wayland.

nothing in BIOS for HDMI. Secure boot is disabled. Legacy enabled.

https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/FX505DT/HelpDesk_BIOS/ BIOS 3.16 latest I have it.

other threads here go back to 2016 on this sort of problem.

gnome is 42.4 kernel is 5.15.0-48-generic updates up to date.

side note: sad that this is a gaming laptop.. and a huge improvement over the other struggles with the Envy's over three years (you name it, I've had it).

  • I put in nouveau.blacklist=1 into grub and with X11 got the full screen, but shocking quality. askubuntu.com/questions/1224668/…

  • following that thread cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf Section "OutputClass" Identifier "AMDgpu" MatchDriver "amdgpu" Driver "amdgpu" Driver "modesetting" EndSection but there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf for me plus I am not using the 3rd party nvidia drivers, just the ones that come with Ubuntu installation. and there is no /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf add here either.

  • I booted into 2X Ubuntu Live USB.. 22.04 and the hdmi screen worked fine, 22.04 and it was blank. so I guess I will have to hope for updates sometime.

  • I got HDMI, booting into LiveUSB for 20.04 , but not for 22.04 . I presume I will have to patiently wait for any updates.

Reset to default

well, to all those who say use the default open source drivers and 'there is no need to use the proprietary drivers' , I say bollocks

I probably had to download the dpkg file from https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers

sudo dpkg -i amdgpu-install_22.20.50200-1_all.deb

amdgpu-install

then software, the blue one, additional drivers, choose the top one, proprietary 515 non open source.

reboot

and hdmi is now working.

  • "515" is a NVIDIA graphics drivers version and if it's being offered then you also have a Nvidia card. And yes, for those proprietary drivers ARE recommended if not sometimes required. However, you mentioned the proprietary AMD overlay that it's NOT necessary at all.

  • I hear you, and I am slightly out of my depth with it, but the 'additional drivers' was blank with the default installation. and with 22.04 there was no hdmi output at all. I took a lot of effort, and taking the jump. which many posts here over many years now, have said to not do. I also have options there for the open source drivers, I only chose the top one for 515 as suggested in the link there.

  • not a 'card 'as such, it is a 4gb seperate graphics chip in a laptop. VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso/Raven 2 [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series. wow a downvote for solving a problem.
