In isolation I don't think it's correct to say that Wayland sessions have "no external monitors". Wayland sessions do work with external monitors on the Nvidia driver if you have nvidia-drm.modeset=1. I've confirmed this on a desktop at least.
It sounds like you're describing some other laptop-specific or Optimus- specific bug. So I think to avoid confusion that should have its own separate bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716857 Title: nvidia-drm.modeset=1 results in no monitors detected by Xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1716857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
