Hey. Well I've got a thinkpad running with fedora 40. I wanted to plug the TV in, with HDMI, but nothing happened. So how do I activate it? Its a Lenovo T470
EDIT: i found it out. Thank you for the help.

HDMI should work out of the box.
GPU info needed

Nvidia or Intel GPU?

Look at the drivers and make sure a secondary display is available.
What's your graphics driver?

I don’t have a 470 in front of me. Did you push the “external display” function key combo or configure it in your desktop environment?

Which Desktop Environment are you using?

That's quite strange. If you plug in a live USB, does it work with other distros? Does your system have an Nvidia GPU?

Did you install from Minimal or Everything isos?
You may need to install the firmware for the GPU if so.

I have an atomic variant of fedora 40 (Aurora) and it just works on an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. I have a USB c dongle with HDMI out and it just works when I plug it in.
I also tried it on my steam deck dock the other day and it worked without issue.
