Only black screen on the external monitor with intel-virtual-output

Hello,
I tried to install bumblebee on my Lenovo W520 with this tutorial:
http://www.unixreich.com/blog/2013/linu … ly-solved/
I can activate my external monitor with "intel-virtual-output" and the monitor is switching on. But I can only see a black screen.
In the settings of gnome I can see my external monitor and configure it - but it shows nothing.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Same problem here on my Lenovo W530.
Intel-virtual-output used to work fine but since it got upgraded the virtual output stays black.
I tried downgrading the xf86-video-intel package but there is a dependency conflict.

    Try:

    - Reboot the computer
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 on another computer

  • [gnome 3.16] Multimonitor with intel-virtual-output screen artifacts

    I have upgraded to gnome 3.16 in testing and noticed that windows will produce artifacts (like tearing/shifted frames) when the content is changed. This is sometimes fixed on redraw, but always happens when any changing output has to be displayed. Screenshot is not possible, at it doesnt show the bug. I could post a photo, if the problem description is too obscure. The internal display works perfectly still.
    My setup is a latop with nvidia optimus running the standard x64 archlinux kernel. I use bumblebee with the proprietary nvidia drivers. The display connectors are all connected to the dedicated gpu, thus I use intel-virtual-output to connect to the external monitor. This has worked wonderfully prior to the upgrade to testing today.
    I hope the question is in the right place, since I cannot exactly pinpoint which component is responsible for the failure..
    My questions are:
    Could changes in Mutter be responsible for this behavior?
    Which logs could be of assistance?

    Bump, since the problem is now in stable

  • With a new tab, I get a black screen under the search bar with overlapping words of "Editor sites" & "edit" & "search". Change it how?" on the bottom.

    There is also a search box that appears in the middle of the black screen. Not a regular search, but its return gave "suggestions" instead. The left bottom of the screen has like a double exposure of the aforementioned, overlapping words. If I hit the Home button I will get the Firefox search screen. But I can't pin even a normal search screen. I have no idea why this started to happen, but I think it began with the latest update to Firefox I did a few days ago. How can I get back to what used to open up with a new tab?
    Thank you for you help.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • Connecting Dynadock to a second external monitor with a splitter

    Hey guys - 
    I have a Samsung Series 9 which I have connected to the Dynadock3.0. I have two additional external monitors which I wanted to connect via the dynadock. I used a vga splitter to connect to the two monitors (dell u2312hm) via vga cables and then used the vga-to-dvi converter to connect to the Dynadock. Unfortunately the computer only recognizes both the external monitors as one screen and while I am able to extend between my laptop screen and the external monitors, both the external monitors duplicate the same screen. 
    Help!

    Any help here would be greatly appreciated

  • T400- make the external monitor primary problem.

    I use T400 and Acer p223w monitor.
    From some reason I cannot make the external monitor to be the primary monitor.
    Using the Presentation Doctor I have the option to define the external monitor as the primary but when I test it, it says that I have illegal parameters of color depth and resolution.
    The problem is that the parameters I use are the parameters currently defined on the two monitors (which mean the monitors have no problem working that way).
    Any other color depth resolution combination won’t solve the problem.
    On the other hand using the same parameters if I configure the laptop monitor to be the primary everything works just fine.
    Any idea what causing it and how to solve it will be highly appreciated.

    Since I have a German Windows client I can only guess the wording on the english client, but try the following, which worked on my T500:
    Bring up the mobility center by pressing Win+X
    Click the button to connect an external monitor
    Choose to use the external monitor as the only display
    Now that the external monitor is the only display, it is also primary of course. Now you can use the normal windows display dialog (Right-Click on desktop -> Configure -> Display) to extend the desktop to the internal display which will be secondary then
    done
    In my case windows remembers this configuration and you do not have to do these steps again after reboot or when you reconnect the external monitor.
    Hope this helps for the T400, too.

  • HP 2730p external Monitor problems Intel GMA 4500

    Hi,
    So far I'm really happy with Archlinux on my Laptop (HP 2730p), but I can't get it to work properly with my external monitor
    The monitor (HF287) is detected and connected just fine, but that's about it
    According to the OSD of the monitor it's running with 1680*1050 Pixel (native resolution 1920*1200), no matter what resolution I choose using xrandr or the Systemsettings GUI, but only shows a 1280*1024 area of the actual screen, stretched into 1680*1050. The rest is out of the screen (adjusting the monitor doesn't change anything)
    If I set the the monitor to its native resolution (1920*1200) I only get a image like this:
    This is the external monitor with the default LXDE Background Image and a window reaching into the monitor just a bit
    The same problem occurs in Ubuntu (tested with a liveCD)
    However it works fine using Windows7

    Sorry for reviving this thread from the dead, but I found a workaround and wanted to share it:
    As mentioned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/796030 this is a known(?) bug with Kernel versions newer than 2.6.34.
    So after downgrading to this version I was able to use the full resolution of the screen, but with a ~ 200pixel wide stripe missing between the monitors (External left of internal => virtual Screen of 3200*1200) and a equally sized stripe of the most left screen on the most right side. This stripe was only missing for the screen, but not for the mousecursor => If I wanted to press a button I had to press it ~200pixel right of it
    (But I was able to use Composite Effects in Compiz)
    This was resolved by disabling Composite in xorg.conf
    not the full xorg.conf
    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Disable"

  • External Monitor with iTunes - iMac screen goes black

    I have an iMac with iTunes 7.7/Leopard and an external VGA monitor (I use the standard Apple mini-DVI to VGA converter) then I use the external monitor to watch video from my iTunes library.
    All works well - I have my desktop spread over both monitors, I fire up a movie from iTunes, move the video window across to the external monitor and everything is good - I can watch the video on the external monitor whilst continuing to work on my Mac - the iMac screen displays the Mac desktop as normal.
    However, if I put the movie into fullscreen mode (view -> fullscreen on the iTunes menu), the external monitor displays the movie in fullscreen mode as it should, however the iMac monitor goes black.
    The only way to fix this is to exit fullscreen mode and go back to one of the view options (rg fit to screen).
    Any ideas how I can have my external monitor in fullscreen mode and have my desktop back?
    Many thanks

  • Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
    An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

    I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work.  It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

  • I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

    I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!  Further info:  I am a complete newbie to Mac.  Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs.  Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back)  with the F4 function key.  While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it.  Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on.  So Idragged it over to display in the centre.  But that's all that's there.  And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor.  There is some wierd disconnect.  I'm sure it is just a setting thing.  Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

    Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
    Let me know if this worked for you.

  • Using only the external monitor in Snow Leopard?

    Greetings,
    I primarily use an external monitor with my macbook (latest gen.) Is there an easier way turn off the laptop screen when connected to an external screen (e.g. a key combination that will turn off the laptop screen to switch to external screen-only mode)?
    My current song-and-dance involves:
    - turn on laptop (with mains power connected)
    - close lid
    - hit a key in my external keyboard
    - open lid again to facilitate ventilation
    I was hoping snow leopard would have finally addressed this pain with a simply key combo?! This is one thing that is easy in the PC world
    Thas

    If you have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected, it will shut off the main screen when you close the lid. If you open the lid, it will turn the display back on.

  • Display only on external monitor with laptop open--possible?

    I have an external monitor (20" with resolution of 1680 x 1050) attached via DVI-D to my MacBook Pro 15". When I'm using it in this configuration, I like to only use my external monitor and not the built-in laptop display. The only way I can get this to work is to close the laptop screen and then wake up the computer using an externally attached (bluetooth, actually) keyboard.
    My question is, how can I do this and have my laptop screen open? Whenever the laptop screen is open, its built-in screen activates and I can either "mirror" the displays or have display spanning. Mirroring does not work well for me because the external monitor's native LCD resolution is 1680 x 1050 and the laptop is 14xx by something (I forget the number).
    Why do I want the screen to be open? Better airport and bluetooth reception. My external monitor is far away enough from the laptop that sometimes, the bluetooth mouse gets jittery when it tracks.
    Thanks for the help!

    How about turning the
    brightness on the MBP all the way down? Will that

    Well, that means using monitor spanning. In that case, I could certainly make my external monitor the main display (thus, the one with the menu bar). The problem with monitor spanning in my situation is that it is possible windows and icons be mis-located to the laptop monitor. Because my two displays are not sitting side-by-side (they are at least 5 feet away from each other) this could get confusing.

  • Only use the extern monitor??

    Hee,
    i have my macbook (black) connected to my HD tv with HDMI. Is it possible to use only the tv screen? so that the screen of my macbook goes to sleep?
    thnx (H)

    The only way to use the external display only is to use your MacBook with the lid closed (aka Closed ClamShell). Any other way (Mirrored or Extended) and you would be using both displays however you may turn down the brightness to lowest on your MacBook if you wish.
    Does this answer your question?
