PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
Hi there,
I'm a Windows user but because of several reasons I decided to change my OS to Debian.
For start, I can say that my laptop is much faster now, sometimes I'm afraid that it can fly .
So I'm really happy for the potential of my laptop now. Problems come when I try to connect my PicoPix 3614 Projector from Philips. Neither with HDMI or USB I can't get connected. I was searching on Internet and I found that a similar problem has been solved with installation of libam7xxx-dev - so I did installed it too, but still not getting signal from my projector.
My plan is to use the projector as primary laptop display when is connected.
Can somebody help? Thank you very much!

Try a newer kernel version.

Re: PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
Hi Head on a stick,
In the first time I want to thank you for answering.
My system is:
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
And is look like it is not recognize correctly even the laptop display, the output to xrandr is:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1366 x 768, current 1368 x 768, maximum 1368 x 768
default connected 1368x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1366x768 0.00
1368x768 0.00*
The laptop model is: HP Pavilion dv6
I was trying to connect the laptop to the TV by HDMI cable and there is the same result as in the project case. Then I was thinking that the system does not recognize the HDMI port and I search on google how to check that. There I found a command to check the playback hardware devices (aplay -l). The output of this command is:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: 92HD81B1X5 Analog [92HD81B1X5 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
From the output my conclusion is that the HDMI is working well. So I'm really stuck now...

Re: PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
Just to note that I think you could have kept the non-proprietary drivers and simply installed firmware-linux-nonfree, as per the Debian wiki.donline wrote:I had to install this https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary.
https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo#Installation
Of course, if you already had that package installed please ignore my deranged ramblings

Re: PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
Is the HDMI connection set as the default sound output?donline wrote:the sound stops working
Are all the outputs un-muted and set to a non-zero volume level?
Which desktop environment are you using?

Re: PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
Hi Head on a Stick, sorry for my late reply.
So I get solved this problem after a lot of google searching.
But if you still want to help me, please tell me how can I change the ATIProprietary package with non-proprietary drivers?
Thanks
Well the ATIProprietary package didn't affect my sound card functionality, only just put it on muted, LOLHead_on_a_Stick wrote: Are all the outputs un-muted and set to a non-zero volume level?

Re: PicoPix 3614tv and Debian 8
Remove the xorg configuration file and the radeon blacklist that were created when the proprietary drivers were installed.donline wrote:how can I change the ATIProprietary package with non-proprietary drivers?
The configuration file may be at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf
Find the blacklist with:
Code: Select all
grep -R radeon /etc/modprobe.d

*Never* use `rm -rf` unless you absolutely have to -- what would happen if your hand slipped and you pressed <Return> accidently just after entering "/"?donline wrote:So I have to remove these files?Code: Select all

They are both files rather than folders (directories?) so `-rf` is not needed at all.
In the case of configuration files and suchlike, it is always better to move them instead so you can restore them easily if needed.
I'm messy so I just dump stuff in $HOME:
Code: Select all
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx-blacklists-radeon.conf .

Oh no ! I tried it on the VM, and now it says "No operating system" when I boot.
Everything disappeared .
