I have a brand new Lenovo T14, and I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 on it. The computer has an HDMI output, which does not show up in xrandr at all. xrandr does show my eDP-x outputs, and using a USB-C->HDMI cable does work.
In the Lenovo BIOS, I am able to choose to use an External Display instead of the laptop screen, and when I do that, the HDMI port works until Ubuntu starts loading, at which point the output dies.
My Ubuntu is as up-to-date as I know how to get it. Here are some diagnostic outputs:
xxxxxxxxx@xxx-xxx:~$ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 5.15.0-43.46-generic 5.15.39
xxxxxxxxx@xxx-xxx:~$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 22e8
Kernel driver in use: i915
This is the output of xrandr with a working external display connected with USB-C:

Does anyone have any ideas? It seems like it's probably some kind of driver/kernel issue, but I'm stumped...I'd really like to use the HDMI output, and I know it physically "works" because setting it as the primary display in the BIOS works until Ubuntu starts up.
I'm happy to provide any additional information upon request. Thank you for your help!

ppa:graphics-driversrepo toapt, but I'm not sure which driver version I should use. There are about 15 differentnvidia-driver-xxxoptions; how can I know which to install? – filthywabbit Aug 04 '22 at 18:32lspciand check if there's a reference to Nvidia. Googling again showed that the Nvidia is optional. – ChanganAuto Aug 04 '22 at 19:01lspci. There appears to be no mention of Nvidia. – filthywabbit Aug 04 '22 at 19:05
