Assuming this happened with Tails 5.8, here are some workarounds you
can try:

- If possible, plug the monitor into the motherboard's Intel graphics card, as
opposed to the Nvidia graphics card.
- Explicitly select the Intel graphics adapters in the BIOS
instead of letting the system choose one automatically.
- Add the i915.force_probe=46a6 boot option
(https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/boot_options/)
and let us know whether it helps.

Additionally, please try our experimental images with a newer Linux
kernel:

https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_18467-linux-6.0-force-all-tests/lastSuccessful/archive/build-artifacts/

… both with and without the aforementioned tweaks, and tell us whether
it fixes the problem.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
