HDMI not detected on Optimus Laptop

#1 Post by hgoeldner »

I am attempting to use the HDMI output on my optimus configured laptop. I have setup bumblebee and primus which work successfully with the proprietary Nvidia drivers. The HDMI output is not being detected by my system. Running inxi -Fxxz gave me the following results:

No VIRTUAL outputs on ":0".
I did some research and stumbled upon someone with the same problem as me (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... -bumblebee)

I followed the steps outlined there by creating /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intelgpu0"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "VirtualHeads" "2"
EndSection
I switched my /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file to as follows:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Layout0"
    Option      "AutoAddDevices" "true"
    Option      "AutoAddGPU" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "DiscreteNvidia"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "NVIDIA Corporation"

#   If the X server does not automatically detect your VGA device,
#   you can manually set it here.
#   To get the BusID prop, run `lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'` and input the data
#   as you see in the commented example.
#   This Setting may be needed in some platforms with more than one
#   nvidia card, which may confuse the proprietary driver (e.g.,
#   trying to take ownership of the wrong device). Also needed on Ubuntu 13.04.
#   BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

#   Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver
#   instance spawned to try to control the integrated graphics card,
#   which is already being managed outside bumblebee.
#   This option doesn't hurt and it is required on platforms running
#   more than one nvidia graphics card with the proprietary driver.
#   (E.g. Macbook Pro pre-2010 with nVidia 9400M + 9600M GT).
#   If this option is not set, the new Xorg may blacken the screen and
#   render it unusable (unless you have some way to run killall Xorg).
    Option "ProbeAllGpus" "false"

    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "DiscreteNVidia"
EndSection

After all this was done nothing happen. Did I configure this correctly? How do I connect my second display correctly? Forgive my inexperience with this, I am completely new to Debian.
