Debian Hardware :: Monitor Working With VGA But Not With HDMI / DVI
Jan 13, 2016
My monitor (Dell U2412M) has a VGA port, a display port and a DVI port. I can connect it to my laptop with VGA, no problem, but I'd rather use one of the other ports. I have a HDMI-to-DVI cable, so I tried that. That didn't work with my laptop, so I tested this HDMI-to-DVI cable with my raspberry pi, and that works perfectly. So, the problem is probably not the cable and not the DVI port on the monitor.
What happens when I plug the HDMI-to-DVI cable into my laptop is a bit weird. It's not a blank screen or anything, but part of the messages I see during boot. The last lines on the screen (the others relate to stuff that is probably not relevant for this issue), are these:
Code:
Select all[Â Â 10.823974] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x7232: i2c wr fail: -6
[Â Â 10.825122] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x7244: i2c wr fail: -6
[Â Â 11.487584] [drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed
I have had quite a bit of trouble with my GPU on this laptop, and as far as I can tell, the laptop does not use the nvidia card but rather has defaulted to the on board intel chip. Could these issues be connected?

I noticed that Debian 8 has a significant bug related to detecting presence of display(s). Today, I woke my computer from sleep while the LCD monitor was unplugged from power (the monitor is connected via DVI) then I powered the monitor but nothing was displayed. Next, I connected another monitor via HDMI and both screens started working. However after disconnecting HDMI cable from the second monitor the first one with DVI stopped showing anything. The conclusion of this situation is that HDMI monitor must be connected all the time.
I thought that this is caused by graphics driver, but I experienced the problem on different machines, one with nvidia driver and DVI, and the second with default free driver and DisplayPort.
I just checked that this is related to KDE. After switching to console using ctrl+alt+f1 the screen turns on, but when I am going back via ctrl+alt+f7 the screen disappears.

Setup:
I'm using i386 Jessie Debian, have an i7 Intel processor and Gtx 745 4gb NVidia GPU.
I am running with nomodeset due to blurring issue but issue occured without nomodeset too.
Problem:
When I start Debian with just a monitor in the HDMI slot it doesn't recognize the monitor and keeps the monitor at 1024x768.
When I start Debian with monitor in both DVI and HDMI slot it only activates the DVI monitor (with proper resolution). PC has no VGA I have no DP cable.
xrandr:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm

1280x1024 0.00
1024x768 0.00
800x600 0.00
640x480 0.00
Which is my dvi monitor, no other screens detected. Is there any way to get the HDMI to run properly?

Where the script is for Gnome 3. When I plug the HDMI cable, the desktop expands to include both, but disables the backlight on the laptop monitor. I have to restart gdm3 or the laptop for the brightness control to bring it back up. First, why would it turn brightness to 0, and how do I change the default of that so it stops. I plug and unplug the HDMI regualarly while I wait for a new desktop and the laptop has to pull double duty.
I just switched from Ubuntu 14.10. It never blacked out a screen on plug in or removing. That means that there must be some way to do it, however, it used Unity and this is Gnome 3.
I installed KDE. It works as well. I will use it for now, but would like to get Gnome 3 to work. My default is gdm but I think I saw I can switch it to kdm.

Ok so I just installed Debian 7.5 on my laptop and encountered several problems.
First off was the problem with GNOME 3, GNOME 3 failed to load.
Second problem was that the system does not recognize an external monitor via hdmi. Via VGA I do not know do not have a cable to try it out.
Third problem was that my wireless was no recognized.
Dell Inspiron 5537 Laptop
wireless: Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Graphics card: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) from the 4xxx series
System: 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Before I had Fedora, but only cuz all the devices were recognized by default, for a while now I wanted to switch over to Debian but as I came to relize my hardware for some reason is not working.

I've been having problems with my hdmi output not working since I first installed debian on my laptop(probably 2 years now). The reason the output wasn't working is because I can't turn my onboard graphics off in my bios. So I had a bright idea, why don't I just blacklist the i915 driver?
So I did, I updated the initramfs and restarted my computer. It started up showed the startup sequence on my laptop screen, my dell monitor (vga output) and on the tv (hdmi output) but then the start up sequence froze on the hdmi output while the other 2 screens continued to work. I do lspci -v and the i915 driver still shows up for the vga controller.
I don't have the nvidia drivers setup and I don't have an xorg.conf setup at the moment because I get the no screens error when I do. What should I do?
previous stuff : [URL] .... <--- I have no clue how I got the hdmi output working when I posted that thread.

I am running a small Debian Jessie installation on my Zotac Nano AD10 (based on AMD's E-350, Radeon 6310). I use it as an MPD server, it outputs to my receiver over HDMI.
Up until kernel 3.11 that works fine. My GRUB command line looks like this (default grub.cfg file):
Code: Select all$ grep radeon /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=noop radeon.audio=1 radeon.dpm=1"
Up till 3.11, this worked fine. The available outputs in alsamixer are unmuted [00]. Aplay reports this:
Code: Select all$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
 Subdevices: 1/1
 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
 Subdevices: 1/1
 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I also set the HDMI output as system-wide default:
Code: Select all$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
    pcm "hw:0,3" # HDMI audio
    }
     }
Running speakertest on device 0,3 though, - no sound:
Code: Select all$ speaker-test --device plughw:0,3
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is plughw:0,3
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels

Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 8192
Using max buffer size 16384
[Code] ...
I've tried fixing this repeatedly (3.12, 3.13, 3.14) but everytime i find myself returning to 3.11 because that keeps working.... Some posts suggest running xrandr could get it working, but this is a headless installation, so I cannot use xrandr.
For reference, OpenELEC works on this same system (separate install), and they're up to 3.14 as well. Never had a problem with OpenELEC and the audio not working.

the HDMI sound just doesn't work with PHILIPS LCD panel, but works fine with computer LCD monitor. I've tried following the numerous threads on those forums but in the end couldn't get any sound from TV. Sound plays fine if I plug it in windows 7 laptop.

BIOS settings for Azalia internal+external
Natty with all updates
Recompiled alsa 1.0.24 via alsa upgrade script

I am running 11.04 on a new Gateway with 8 gigs of ram. It is a solo installation. The monitor is connected via an HDMI cable. Everything was great (installation running smoothly for over a month) until last night. I just installed a netgear router and was setting it up with the system to try to get Stanza on my IPAD to connect to Calibre. Anyway, i suffered a severe freeze up warranting a hard boot. I could see the drive working, ancillary drives lit up, keyboard lit up so I know the system is working. The monitor did not come on, It shows a yellow light indication no signal. It is a 28" Hansspree. I tested the monitor by hooking it to a laptop. The monitor is fine. I cannot see anything on the screen so I can't boot to repair mode or use a CD. There is no signal.

I have a small 'nettop' computer that only has a HDMI output. The only monitors I have only have VGA input. Is there a way to use a HDMI-to-VGA or HDMI-to-DVI + DVI-to-VGA connection setup to hookup this computer to my monitor?Let me make it clear that I am not looking for a high-quality, high-definition display. This is going to be hooked up to a monitor only until I have the system up and running and then it'll be a ssh-only headless server

I have a Dell XPS M1330, which has a GeForce 8400M GS GPU. The binary (sigh) nVidia driver installed is version 190.53 (installed by sgfxi). This is working well: glxgears gives me about 2600 FPS and compiz is happy.An old Philips 170B is attached by VGA cable. I was looking to set up a method of switching resolution upon connecting to the monitor when working at the desk, since I don't like the 1280x800 resolution of the laptop.
nfortunately, I can't get any output on the external monitor. It does work under Ubuntu, which installed the 180 series binary driver. (Going to an earlier driver is an option, but I want to understand the problem.) Bottom line, I want to work under Debian.As far as I know, nVidia's proprietary driver doesn't support xrandr. At any rate, with he external 170B monitor attached and turned on, I get the following:$ xrandr -qScreen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 800default connected 1280x800+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x800 50.0*

I have an external monitor attached trough a VGA cable to my laptop PC, with the monitor settings shown below.

If I unplug the monitor everything works fine.

Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686
Gnome Version: 2.30.2

I have a packard bell dot mu laptop which I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on to.
Everything works fine except for the HDMI out to my tv, in windows it worked perfectly, in ubuntu however when I plug the TV in it, absolutely nothing happens it doesn't seem to recognise it at all.
I have tried to reboot whilst still plugged in, the loading screen then appeared on the tv, but when it got in to Ubuntu, it showed up on the laptop and tv was just flickering black.

I have a Mythbuntu 9.0.4 fresh install and seem to be having issues with audio over HDMI. I can get audio over the headset output (green round port).
I am guessing this probably has something to do with the default sound card that is used to output when I play something, say internet radio. how to configure Ubuntu to use the HDMI output as default.
The motherboard is: [URL]
Output of the following:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards

HDA ATI SB at 0xfe7f4000 irq 16

I'm running openSUSE 11.4 64 bit, KDE 4.7 with latest fglrx drivers. My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6 with a ATi Mobility Radeon HD5650M.
The drivers themselves work fine, I get quite a good acceleration and I can choose between discrete and dedicated graphics just fine, but when I plug in the HDMI cable from my TV it just doesn't detect it. It works fine on Windows version of ATi CCC, but when I open CCC in openSUSE I only see my notebook's monitor, not a sign of the HDMI cable plugged in.

I am running 10.04 with an integrated Radeon HD3200 card. When I set up the tv through hdmi, the sound works perfectly; however, when I switch to analog audio to play something else, the next time I try to use hdmi audio I get nothing. It shows to have good level through Pulse Audio Volume Control - shows like there is a sound coming through it, but I get no audio through the tv. The only way I can fix this is by uninstalling proprietary drivers and reverting back to generic configuration and then reinstalling proprietary drivers. I have to revert back to generic in order to get the sound working again.

I have a dell 1525 laptop with ubuntu 10.10 . Just made the switch from win vista . Everything seems to be perfect, wireless, video, ect. However no audio on my onboard hdmi port. The video is displayed perfect runs very smooth. This could be my lack of knowledge on ubuntu just not understanding what settings to change maybe no driver for the hdmi audio. I would like to add that the laptop onboard speakers work fine.

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my HP Pavilion dv4-1040ee laptop which was shipped with nVidia GeForce 9200M GS graphics card, the only problem that I'm currently facing is that the computer was not able to detect my screen by using the HDMI port. So, I thought that may be it was a driver's issue so I installed the latest nVidia dirvers by using the command
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
When I restarted the computer nVidia's logo appeared during booting and nVidia X Server
