Hi all,
I'm trying to use my netbook as a media centre but last night I failed miserably at connecting to a tv via the hdmi port.
This is what xrandr outpus:
The HDMI port is not even in the list!
sudo /sbin/lspci -v | grep -i vga
What I tried:
Installed various versions of the nvidia drivers both manually (after some kernel struggles) and from the nvidia repos.
Manual drivers I got from here: http://www.nvidia.ca/object/unix.html and I tried a bunch of version (340, 337, 304). All of those list ION as supported but X would not load.
Xorg.log.0 would error out saying no devices found. Clearly the driver did not think I have an nvidia chipset onboard.
In my desperation, I even tried bumblebee in the end.
I have no issues with the nouveau driver otherwise.
Any ideas?
Worst case I can install windows to see if the port works there but I'm guessing it will. I'd really rather not use windows though.
