What does the command "xrandr" say before you connect the cable and
after?

Hi,

if just updated to bullseye and now, HDMI hot plug does not work any more.
I have a GeForce GTX 960 (AMD64 system) with a monitor connected through a DVI-D cable and a projector connected through a HDMI cable.
If I have the projector switched on at system startup, everything is fine, but if the projector is switch off at startup, I have no way to add it as display when switching it on afterwards.

With Debian Buster, this worked.

Using KDE, nvidia-driver.
Tried system settings of KDE and nvidia-settings. Both worked with Buster.

Any ideas how to get hot plug back to work or where to find additional hints?

Thanks,
Harald

The cables are always connected. Graphics card --> HDMI cable --> HDMI switch --> HDMI cable --> projector.

If I started the system with the projector turned off, the output is always:

No matter if the projector is turned on or off or the switch is set to PC input or another input.

When starting with projector turned on and switch set to PC input:

Switching the projector off again, the output reverts to

Switching it afterwards on again, nothing changed (HDMI-0 is still disconnected).

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Harald

The cables are always connected.
Setup: Graphics card --> HDMI cable --> HDMI switch --> HDMI cable --> projector.

That seems to indicate your problem is with the driver and not with the
automagic GUI.

You can try to run Buster's X11 over Bullseye's kernel and Bullseye's
X11 over Buster's kernel to see if that makes a difference. But since it
may be some work to set up, wait if somebody has better ideas.
