[For those that followed my 'install thread': next step]
Trying to connect a Dell Inspiron 9400, with ATI mobility 1400, to a
Samsung 213T *DIGITAL* port.
Simple question: How? <g>
The same machine/setup with Vista worked automatically. When I plugged
in the DVI monitor cable into the laptop, Vista prompted (just like a
usb device, neat) with various options how I want to run both
monitors. (Duplicated, different areas of desktop, laptop monitor off
- which is the option I chose.) It doesn't always work perfectly,
sometimes I get both displays, but at least it works.
"sort off"
I tried running system-config-display, but I get an error when trying
to save<OK>.
So, pray tell me, how do I get my external display to show off its
Fedora stuff?
Which fedora ?
open or ati proprietary driver ?
Err messages ?
start a terminal and run
system-config-display
from there. If you get some messages in the terminal, please search
http://bugzilla.redhat.com fedora system-config-display first, and if
no matching issue, create a new bug including version:
rpm -q system-config-display
cat /etc/fedora-release
In the bug report, attach the output of:
lspci
and describe the exact sequence that causes the problem.
