External Monitor not working after upgrading Regolith-desktop. #136

After updating to regolith 2.30 I can also not use external monitors (both HDMI and Display Port). This means when connecting an external monitor the image, no image is shown on the external monitor.

I have tried turning off compton (by commenting out the line in the i3 configuration) but that hasn't seemed to help.

When I comment it out, the background refresh does not work. I would be thankful for any support.

upgrading firmware for Lenovo Laptop with gnome-updates fixed this issue.
