your monitor should be detected even if it isnt supported

#

check hyprctl monitors

#

also i dont think you need the monitor name

#

hyprland can handle monitors with their port name

#

ur monitor in this case should be called HDMI-A-1

#

ornate knot ur monitor in this case should be called `HDMI-A-1`

So do i do
monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@75, 0x0, 1
