Extra unknown display is showing up
Ubuntu Detects 2 monitors when I only have one This works but i am no longer able to start a wayland session. Actually this is a separate problem.
I installed nvidia-driver-470 and after restarting, my login screen and desktop seem to act as a dual screen monitor. If i slide my mouse over to the right edge it will scroll the background and windows. If i go to the Display settings, I have two displays an unknown display and my display. I only have one physical monitor and I am assuming this is a driver issue but i don't have enough experience to figure this out on my own.
I was able to set my monitor to a single display but the unknown display is still present. switching to the unknown display results in a black screen.I tried to set the nvidia_drm module modeset parameter to one in /etc/modprobe.d/myconfig.conf
that did not fix the issue.xrandr -q
gives
