Hardware :: DisplayPort On Lenovo X301 Running Any Debian Variety?
Mar 31, 2011
I'm reloading my X301 Lenovo laptop with linux but need to make sure that whatever distro i choose will support displayport out. I'm currently running XP on it and DisplayPort -> HDMI (via converter) -> Sony 40" 1080 TV works great. Just Shift F7 and I'm off and running.
I tried Mint 10 and Debian 6.0.1 last night (via Live DVD) and while they both recognized the displayport, and I could set the resolution on a second monitor to 1920x1080, the output was scaled incorrectly and didn't show any user mouse movements etc... just the wallpaper basically.

I have heard the wpa_supplicant in roaming mode, although absent from the various Debian (and Debian-related) forums and wikis, can handle automatic connections to a variety of encrypted and open networks as well as network-manager does... and better when using the MadWifi drivers!

I'm using Jessie 8.3 on Dell laptop Latitude E7240.
Now when I plug the laptop in the Dell eDock docking station, external monitor connected through DisplayPort and it is detected (according to xrandr output).
BUT nothing shows on the monitor (it stays black) and I get errors repeating in the kernel log:
[ 71.064428] [drm:intel_dp_complete_link_train] *ERROR* failed to train DP, aborting.

I have a laptop and an external monitor connected via displayport. I can configure both displays via settings with correct resolution and arrangement. However, this configuration is not sticking, and every time I shut down the laptop or close the lid I will need to fight with black screens and more to bring the same configuration again. Basically, it seems that the monitor is "stealing" the primary role to the laptop's native screen (I have it configured as secondary, but also being primary the configuration gets messed).
After many trial & errors, this is the routine I have found to make things work every time I boot / awake the system:
1. Boot. Laptop's display shows the booting sequence.
2. When the login screen should appear, laptop's display goes black, monitor shows background.
3. If I press F9 to increase brightness, the brightness icon appears in the monitor, but it is stuck at the minimum.
4. The only way to leave this point is by pressing F7 (project screen) and then F9 again to increase brightness. Then the laptop's screen does light up.
This is when I'm lucky. Sometimes the configuration goes mad and I get mirrored displays and different resolutions, without touching the settings myself. Also, if I unplug the displayport I run the risk of getting stuck with a black screen in the laptop, without any way of recovering the GUI other than rebooting (Ctrl Alt F2 will still show the command line screen).
My system is Debian 8 testing up to date, running in a Lenovo T430 with Intel components. I'm not sure the monitor is relevant here, but in any case it is an Eizo CS240.

This is completely baffling me..I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X301, which has been running OpenSUSE 11.1 for a while, with vanilla kernels from kernel.org, built and installed in the standard (i.e. not SUSE) way.
A week ago, I dupped to 11.2, and also installed kernel 2.6.38.4 . This was compiled with the gcc-4.3 available under 11.2. Everything worked fine (after the necessary messing around to get X working again).
This weekend, I dupped to 11.4 (via 11.3, of course). After more messing around to get X working again, things were working ok - using the same 2.6.38.4 kernel I'd built under 11.2. I then re-built the kernel. It appears to compile and install ok, and I haven't changed the configuration or the grub configuration. However, it doesn't load. Normally, I just get a blank screen after grub starts it loading. If I boot in basic VGA mode 0, then I get a few lines of messages before it hangs - it hangs complaining about APIC not connected to io bios, and if I boot noapic, it gets a few lines further before hanging after some message I don't know about (allocating 4 HET). I don't suppose that's relevant, anyway.
I've tried three different gcc versions, and two different linux versions (2.31 as well), and the same thing happens. This sounds like something going badly wrong with ld or as or something - but I don't see how anything could have happened that wouldn't have been noticed by thousands of others.

I have experienced it on pretty much every linux installation I have tried (the ubuntu variants, fedora, opensuse and others). I am a keen shmup player (although not that great of one I will admit), and in almost all of them the controls under linux are unplayable. The game seems to think that I have the up and left arrows constantly pressed.
This happens in native games (Torus Trooper, being the first one I discovered it on), games that I run in WINE, and games through MAME. So far the only shmups that I have been able to get working properly have been the Touhou series (which I get working by selecting the "no directinput" checkbox), and ones running in some emulators.

I'm new to here and to linux, having changed over about 2 weeks ago. I've had a lot of trouble installing a variety of software and am really starting to despair and regret changing over. Right way to go about things for the installation processes of any of the following software on opensuse11.4 64-bit (I have tried everything I can to no avail):
Canon ip2700 series drivers
Creative Sound Blaster X-fi drivers
Skype

I'm new to Linux and I'm still trying to make my linux work on an external drive. I think I have found how, but I need to use the pipe symbol in a command line and I don't have it on my keyboard.I've tried different settings for my keyboard and different language, but nothing seems to do; I try all the keys, with shift or alt, but nothing works.I'm working on Debian, Lenny, with a Lenovo 3000 v100 Laptop. Nowhere on my keyboard do I have the symbol I am looking for. I have the vertical bar divided in two, but not the continous one.Do I need somehow to remap my keyboard or add a function to a key?

I'm trying to change the backlight via xbacklight but this is not working. Although
Code: Select allxbacklight -set X
causes
Code: Select allxbacklight -get
to return X, the real monitor backlight is unchanged.
The XF86MonBrightnessDown (fn+some-key) isn't working either, although it may have been working earlier.
How can I further debug this issue?
Why are the extensions ["", "txt", "text"] "not allowed" for upload?
I tried stracing the xbacklight call, I'm including the output, but I can't make anything out of it.
Is there a way to do this via xrandr or is there a lower-level way?

I have a T500 laptop that has both a vga and display port output. How well is display port supported in ubuntu? When I google ubunt u, I get a whole bunch of "why isn't this working". Also, Is it possible to use both displayport and vga at the same time (so I could have three screens)?

I could not get wireless connection during the Debian Testing (LXDE) installation and am wondering how I can setup wireless connection now. Here are the details:
- Hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (3rd gen., 2015, core i7, 256GB, WHQD display)
- For installation, I used [URL] .... -> debian-testing-amd64-lxde-CD-1.iso
- During the installation process, I received a message that the following files are missing: iwlwifi-7265-8.ucode, iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode (strangely (to me), they were mentioned twice, so 4 files). I was asked to provide them on a USB stick
- I went to [URL] ...., downloaded firmware-nonfree_0.43.tar.gz and put the files iwlwifi-7265-8.ucode-22.24.8.0 and iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode-23.214.9.0 on a USB stick (FAT32 formatted). They were not recognized. Also not after renaming precisely to the file names I was asked for (what should I have done in this case?)
- I then simply continued the installation (flawlessly) without internet connection
- How can I now set up wireless connection?
I'm new to Debian but an Ubuntu user for 3 years. I tried to use commands from Ubuntu (ipconfig...) to figure out more, but they were not available.

Recently purchased a Lenovo B40-70 Dec 15 Make and isntalled Debian Jessie as the only operating system. Everything seems to work fine except internal microphone.
I have entries under ports of pavucontrol
- Internal Microphone
- Microphone (unplugged)
I changed amplification levels of left and right channels (as some suggested having right and left at same level cancel each other thus producing no audio). I've added entries such as Code: Select alloptions snd-hda-intel model=laptop to non existing alsa-base.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/. - No effect
Haven't seen Lenovo internal microphone problems offlate in forums or QA Boards, so asking it here again.
Also, I'm planning to buy a USB microphone : [URL].....
Will this work out of the box to make skype calls ?

This laptop has been in the mainstream news as the cheapest Windows laptop available. Unfortunately it has a 64-bit CPU with 32-bit UEFI that dumps to the grub shell before installation. In addition, the built-in keyboard does not work.
As far as the dump to shell problem, this seems like something is not setup correctly in the grub UEFI configuration. This "hybrid" notebook should be using the multi-arch as I understand the situation. I noticed there is no grub configuration file in the multi-arch netinst ISO when I mounted it and looked around. I also noticed the standard netinst ISO is not easily mountable: there are errors when I try to mount the individual partitions to inspect the grub configuration. Additionally, Kubuntu boots perfectly aside from the keyboard issue. Devuan also boots when I modify the netinst to bypass gummiboot and use grub directly. Finally, the multi-arch grub shell freezes up when autocompleting and searching through the drives for the grub config, leading to a forced reboot. As an extra note, I tried 2 different flash drives and CD install media with the same results.
I tried many, many grub kernel combinations to fix the keyboard issue. It works in grub, but not in Linux. I was ultimately going to try a newer kernel to fix it.I was in a hurry to get something set up so back to the store it goes.

I want to install NVIDIA drivers on my Debian Squeeze so that I can use parallel computing packages like CUDA C or OpenCL for my Master Thesis. I have NVIDIA Geforce 310M.
I found a link in wiki.debian which gives me two ways to install NVIDIA drivers and I want to install the NVIDIA way (non-debian way).I have to stop 'X' and I stopped it by typing 'service gdm3 stop' and then I went to ''init 3'' . Now I want run
'sh /home/swaroop/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270-41.06.run' but its not working.

i have debian squeeze installed on my lenovo t61 notebook with intel wireless 3945 firmware.
i've installed the firmware-iwlwifi package but cannot get any wireless connection.
i'm using the fluxbox dekstop with wicd network manager.
i've searched around on the debian user forum archives and the internet but have yet to find a solution for this. it seems most people have just installed the firmware-iwlwifi package and then wlan was working.
i had ubuntu installed on this machine before with wlan running, so i know that there is nothing wrong with my hardware.

I have an 27" iMac which I wish to use as display for my Ubuntu machine using it's mini Displayport as perTo that end I bought a new Intel DH67GD motherboard and 2600k CPU and a Displayport->Mini Displayport cable.However it seems that X doesn't detect the displayport connection correctly. When I boot the Ubuntu machine the iMac correctly switches to that input and Intel motherboard screen appears on the display followed by the grub interface.However it seems that when X should start it doesn't recognise the Displayport connection. The iMac goes back to displaying it's own screen and the X logs don't seem to recognise the connection
Code:
[ 32.854] (==) intel(0): video overlay key set to 0x101fe
[ 32.854] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 using monitor section Configured Monitor

I just bought my new lenovo T460 notebook and have a problem with the lid closing/suspend handling which is very puzzling for me.
If the device is on the AC, closing the lid causes the notebook to suspend. This works perfectly - in other words: The notebook wakes up after opening the lid and is usable. If the notebook is on battery, closing the lid causes the notebook to freeze. In other words: If I open the lid again, everything is frozen. Not only the UI but I'm also not able to change to TTY1, 2, ...
What I did to find out more:
Manually suspending the notebook when on battery is working. If I do a systemctl suspend it works as expected. I tried to use the KDE settings to deactivate suspending when closing the lid when on battery. But even then, the system is freezing when closing the lid. I found this link [URL] .... laptop-lid which suggests to change the HandleLidSwitch setting in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to ignore. But this does not change the behavior.
I'm using debian stretch/testing
Details about my experience with the T460 under debian gnu linux can be found here: [URL] ....

I've one lenovo 3000 g430 4152 laptop on which i have windows but previously installed debian 5.03 and for enabling the wireless i've to download broadcom b43legacy and install it by compiling because the backports kernel doesn't work with lenovo and after installing debian accidently switched of the wireless by the slide button on laptop
but on next boot i was not able to enable the wireless either by the slide button or fn+f5 which is the key for enabling it the wireless then on some forum i got advise that i can only re-enable by installing windows because lenovo drivers are available for only windows for this model... my question is that is there any solution for it in debian and also there is one more problem that i've to press fn+f8 twice on each boot for enabling the touchpad...

It's for a Lenovo x140e laptop with Jessie. Specs online commonly describe the laptop as having BCM43142 but I ran "lspci -knn | grep -iA2 net" and the output says I have BCM43228. Not sure why there is that discrepancy but I am assuming the latter, BCM43228, is what is actually in my computer.
Anyway, I originally installed "broadcom-sta-common", "module-assistant", and "broadcom-sta-source", but that resulted in nothing happening so I think I am going to "apt-get purge" those and start over.
I know about the Debian wiki "wl" page but it only provides instructions up to Wheezy, not Jessie. And I read many previous threads but they often contain different instructions and mixed results, plus there are many moving parts here (kernel, OS, driver, packages) and the instructions seem to be changing over time.
I was thinking I'd install these:
1) firmware-realtek
2) wireless-tools
3) module-assistant
4) broadcom-sta-common
5) broadcom-sta-dkms
6) broadcom-sta-source
Does the order of install for those above packages matter at all? Do I need the kernel header or not and, if so, how do I use it? Are there any other packages I need? What is the process?
Output of "lspci -knn | grep -iA2 net"
Code: Select all01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359] Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:0607] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Connecting my Laptop's Displayport to the HDMI of my TV works fine under Windows Vista in 1080p (1920x1050).
Under Linux the Brightness alternates between high and low every other second.
Otherwise, the picture is fine and sharp. However, the ever alternating brightness makes it unusable.
Anyone any idea what is the reason for this is and how to fix it?
Software: openSuse11.2 (64bit), nvidia 190.53, X.org 11.0. Hardware: Dell m4400, nvidia Quadro FX770M, Sony KDL-37W5810.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,2 with the Mini-DisplayPort for external video. I have the displayport-VGA adapter which works (albeit sometimes at an unideal resolution) with an array of projectors, LCDs and other stuff. Everything except for my nice Samsung SyncMaster 2433. When I plug it in, I get the weird rainbow screwed up look with only the far left hand column looking normal and the rest looking like I've got the wrong refresh rate or something. However, the same setup works when I boot from Karmic to OS X. Note this also didn't work in Jaunty. I'm using the NVidia 185.18.36.
It also did not work through a KVM switch (long shot) but oddly the "Monitor Out" works when I run this monitor through my Dell projector. if I unplug the projector and then plug the monitor in directly without rescanning for displays, the monitor continues to work.

I have finally decided to reach out for help because I've been messing around for 3 days with xorg.conf and I'm a beginner and not getting it right. What I want to do is to use only my external monitor (1920x1200) via DisplayPort when my computer is docked. And then my laptop display (1280x800) when undocked. I am using Ubuntu 10.04.
I have setup System->Preference->Monitor: Unchecked <same image in all monitors>, turned off laptop display, and set External monitor to 1920x1200. After doing this everything works when in Xwindows. The resolution is correct when I am docked, and when I am undocked it defaults to my laptop display.
The ONLY problem with using the System->Preferences->Monitor is that when I start up the computer when docked the external monitor goes to the incorrect (laptop screen) resolution at the initial login screen. After I login the resolution corrects itself but it's messy with reinitialization of the screen and my icons being all messed up. I think this happens because these settings only take effect after logging in.
I believe I have to edit the xorg.conf to get my setup working at the login screen. Can someone please tell me how to this.
