Hi fellow 
experts. I am trying to connect a
an external monitor from the laptop which has an HDMI port. I have this DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. The monitor is set to autoscan and usually lights up on RGB, but I never tried other ports until now.

Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 1366 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP-1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 190mm
1366x768 59.80*+
Its Gnome 45 on Wayland, but I have tried x11 with the same result.
