It is weird because Dell laptop ( I used 2 different laptops of dell before) and my current PC works fine with 2 monitors. I am asking other guys in team. Hope they can help you as soon as possible.

thank you for your reply i just tried now the installation that you guys recommended in https://docs.parrotlinux.org/info/gpu-drivers/
i got now the nvidia x server but still can’t detect my external monitor
(it’s my first time using linux as my host OS )

It is weird. It should detect external monitor by default. Can you confirm your cable works perfectly? Can you check any error log in /var/log?
