Dell 14z Mini DisplayPort

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Dell 14z laptop. That has Nvidia Optimus technology.

$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation
Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev a1)

Currently the system loads the nouveau and i915 drivers. I haven't
installed the nvidia driver.

I want to use the laptop for running training courses, so I'll be
using the Mini DisplayPort to plug it into random projectors. The
first time I tried that, the new monitor wasn't detected so I couldn't
get the projector working.

I know there's the Bumblebee project for dealing with Optimus, but at
this stage I'm not really interested in switching between the two
video cards, I just want to get the Mini DisplayPort working. There's
also an HDMI output - I haven't tried that yet, but most projectors
that I come across don't have HDMI inputs (perhaps I need a better
class of client!)

If anyone has any suggestions how I can get the DisplayPort working
under Fedora 16, I'd love to hear them.

Happy, of course, to supply any further information that might help.

Thanks,

Dave...
