Hi,
Apologies if this is somehow covered elsewhere. I've done a good bit of searching to no avail.
I'm running 2 monitors from a fresh install of F17 on my Dell Latitude D410.
Monitor 1: the laptop's LCD screen - detected, all fine and dandy.
Monitor 2: an external flatscreen monitor.
If I have my external monitor attached to DVI I can just see the background image on the laptop and the external monitor stays black, no gdm login or anything.
I've been trying to solve a problem I'm having with a laptop and FC17.
The problem is that the laptop LCD is broken and the screen is not visible (garbled, smudged, cracked). When I boot FC17 it insists on using the broken LCD as the login screen. No matter what I've done I cannot seem to convince X to boot favoring the external monitor.
Hi, I like Fedora, but i am frustrated now, any kernel above 3.3.4 wont boot on my laptop without external monitor connected. Only shows grub, and then turn off screen, Fedora boot, but i see nothing, when i plug monitor i See badly loaded GDM, but when i booting with external monitor Laptop screen turns on again after start GDM.
Hi,
I installed fc17 x86_64 on a 1TB disk and it boots fine. I have an old fc15 2TB disk that I'd like to add to the system without making any changes to the disk itself.
We need to buy a couple of engineering laptops. Our 1st choice would be Dell Latitude.
Unfortunately, in the past, my colleague had many problems installing the Ubuntu on his E6510. The main issue was that the screen remained blank after boot. The solution was to connect to an external monitor - but this is not an acceptable solution for a mobile configuration.
I've been running Ubuntu 11.10 for a while on my laptop with no problem but after the latest update yesterday (about 6 updates from memory) this morning my laptop screen won't display anything.
hi. i've just installed fedora 18 (default options) on an acer aspire 5735 laptop. i use an external monitor with this laptop so the sequence of events when turning it on are as follows :
open laptop
press power button
close laptop
as the laptop boots i see the grub menu and the luks password prompt on the external monitor.
Hello, I am using Fedora 17 and I have just updated. The kernel was updated so the reboot was required...
The reboot was not successful - many times. Sometimes, WPA_supplicant failed, Bluetooth otherwise. I tried to boot to the older kernel - it was OK but the system was IMHO slow and the CPU worked a lot (as graphical card driver was bad)...
After the boot, I tried to update...
