External screen detected but not working on DisplayPort connection on X220

I'm running up to date Raring on my Thinkpad X220 and stumbled upon weird problem.
I can connect to an external 24 inch DELL U2312HM external screen using DisplayPort cable.
I tried the same connection at work, with similar, but larger screen - 27 inch DELL U2713HM using the same cable.
When I check >>Settings >> Displays the display is detected. However I'm looking at dark screen.. Bizarrely - when I hit the PrtScr - I can also see it correctly with Ubuntu walpaper o_O
The monitor is detected and works correctly when using [DisplayPort to DVI-D Adapter Cable (Single Link)] however the resolution on this setup is limited to 1920 x 1200 so I'd really like to take advantage of DVI since the laptop should support it.
How could I fix this issue?

Hello,
According to the specs on Dell's web site, the U2713HM is a WQHD (2560×1440) resolution display and requires a DisplayPort 1.2 compliant signal.  From looking at the PSREF documentation, this resolution is supported on the DisplayPort at a frequency of 60Hz.  There is no mention of DisplayPort version, though.
Just to confirm, the DisplayPort cable you are using is DisplayPort at both ends and does not have an HDMI or DVI connector attached to the monitor, correct?
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  • Flash plugin detected but not working (Firefox 22 on Linux)

    Hi all,
    I can't get the flash plugin to work. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at http://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/ , I just get the usual " you need a plugin to view this content" thing.
    This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck.
    about:plugins displays this:
    File : libflashplayer.so
    Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    Version : 11,2,202,297
    State : Enabled
    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
    This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.
    Another thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well.
    I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Thank you.

    Shockwave also known as Shockwave for Director is not the same as the Shockwave Flash Player.

  • External display recognized but not working?

    So, I've got kind of a weird problem.
    Whenever I connect my iMac (through the Thunderbolt port) to my 32" RCA HDTV via a displayport to HDMI adapter, it shows on my iMac that there is a display connected (TTE HDTV), but my TV isn't recognizing it. I have tested the port/TV using my Windows laptop with a (native) HDMI port and there have been no problems.
    I would think it was the cord I bought, except that my iMac recognizes an external display. It doesn't seem to be the TV's fault, and I've tried every resolution setting.

    Yeah I have been having the same problem. When I'm looking at the Display Settings, it comes up with Samsung 1080 when its connected, however the tv doesnt recognize it. And if i unplug the HDMI cable from the adapter, the Tv options go away. There must be some sort of TV setting maybe? I am also using a passive adapter.

  • [SOLVED] Epson flatbed scanner detected but not working

    I have an Epson V330 scanner which used to work with iscan and iscan-data from AUR. Now the scanner is detected correctly by lsusb, sane-find-scanner, and scanimage -L, but if I run
         scanimage > image/pnm
    I get
         sane_start: Invalid argument
    xsane brings up the scanner but it gives the same error.
    I think the problem may be related to the fact that there is no /dev/scanner0 or anything similar, which I think there should be. I've tried rebooting with the scanner switched on but no result.

  • New screen fitted but not working?

    ive recently fitted a new screen to my ipod 4th gen, and when ive gone to switch it back on the screen isnt lighting up, anyone know why

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
      - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem.
    First I would take it apart and look for problems.
    - Nextm take it to someone with more experience.
    - Apple will not help

    one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working .  May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    Check your system for possible Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
    (Do not use your own Anti-virus to SCAN)
    Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  • PVC2300: Motion detect. suddenly not working

    Hi!
    Installed a PVC2300 last week, and everything was working well. But after adjusting its possition a bit this morning, the motion detection has stopped working.
    Feel like I've tried everything to get it working again. Tried several changes in the settings, adjusting the threshold, reinstall the newest firmware (v.1.1.0), restore to factory settings, deleting stored videos, changing to full screen detection, but still no luck.
    The camera is monitoring an open area. A person can walk across the area and not beeing detected by the camera, but sometimes records sequences where nothing happens.
    Any idea?

    Wow, that was alot of work to try to determine the cause.  I was thinking something like light in the new position (especailly cause you say its recording when nothing happens).   Can you try positioning it in the original position and see if it works better in that environment? 
    Do you use the camera GUI itself to paint the windows with sensitivity thresholds for motion detection using Internet Explorer with ActiveX?
    Do you notice anything in the LOG file of the camera when there is motion that meets the criteria you set (it should always say motion detected and then FTP or HTTP or FTP  logs depending on where you send the motion clips) itself.

  • External USB HD does not work with HAL:

    External USB HD does not work with HAL:
    From the last 10 days the HAL auto-mount with ntfs-3g file system of my external hard drive  does not woks.
    But the manual mount procedure with the command mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb* /mnt/XYZ works.
    I've followed the instructions in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL and the system has worked up to the last kernel or HAL update.
    My fat32 usb-stick works without any problem.
    If I try to open the device with KDE it appears an error popup wit this message:

    Do you have some idea ....
    Bye.

    I have done the following:
    Downloaded the patched hal version.
    used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
    used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
    used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
    saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
    have i done something wrong?
    br fjodork
    WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
    So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
    pacman -Rd hal
    it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore  it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
    First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
    So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
    unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
    at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
    installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
    Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
    makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
    options=('!libtool')
    install=hal.install
    source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
        hal
        hal-policy.patch
        cryptsetup_location.patch
        hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
        ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
    md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
             '882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
             '5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
    then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
    and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
    another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
    I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
    PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
    If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

  • What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

    ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
    first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and  lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
    the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly....  come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

    Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB.  It's intermittent.  Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
    The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
    Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off).  Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
    This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8.  I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
    UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

  • External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

    External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
    I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
    the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
    The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    How is the hard drive formatted?
    Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
    (The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
    If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
    In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
    What do you see?
