Subject: [gentoo-user] unable to drive the VGA output
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:14:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yu9r5jxe3yz.fsf@nyu.edu> (raw)
Laptop: dell E6510
Gentoo: ~amd64
Graphics: nvidia VVS 3100M
I am unable to drive the VGA output. Symptoms include
* Executing "xrandr" does not mention LVDS or VGA
(and using --output VGA gives a warning that VGA doesn't exist)
* Pushing Fn-F8 produces a "p" (the keycap of f8 shows in blue a picture
of a laptop and a monitor) instead of showing the screen on the other
display.
The xorg.conf file generated by nvidia-xconfig (below) is fairly simple.
I just added the module section at the end.
Any help would be appreciated.
