Dual Monitor Centos 6 Problem......
Hi All,
I have an ASUS A55A laptop, with the latest BIOS installed 2.15.1226 aka BIOS 407 running Centos 6.4 64bit. I am trying to connect an external monitor to the laptop, so I can extend the desktop. I am using the GNOME desktop environment. I plug the external monitor in to the VGA port and press FN F8 and get no result. These are the laptops default Settings: Code:
xrandr -q Here are the external monitor settings: Code:
xrandr -q When plugging the Monitor in and out with the terminal loaded, I have seen this error before: Code:
kernel:Disabling IRQ #16 More information on the drivers loaded: Code:
lspci | grep VGA Code:
lsmod | grep video The default xorg.conf Code:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Thanks in advanced! |
You probably need some nvidia! I think it is nouvau? Something like that. Google it. Install it. Upgrade it. You need Nvidia! You may want to do an upgrade to if you have not.

Tech7, as far as I can tell the A55 doesnt have an nVidia GPU, even as an option. So 'gettting nVidia' wil not help. BTW, if it did have an nVidia GPU it would be an 'optimus' setup, and to get that running properly you need bumblebee.

If you have ati it may be a lil complicating to set up, though I read once you get it working it works well..
-Out of my league. |
as i recall from reading the vesa on rhel/centos 6 is not working well
and you have a intel chip the driver used should be intel and vesa |
Yes John VV is correct. It's not a Nvidia or ATI it's the the built Intel Video Chip.
As reading from below, I should change the driver from Vesa to Intel. http://jehurst.wordpress.com/2011/06...ntel-graphics/ Also specified here: https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/67225 If the Code:
nomodeset I will see how this runs after the changes. Also if needed I should get the Intel Drivers from the ElREPO yum repo: http://elrepo.org/tiki/xorg-x11-drv-intel x86_64: Code:
drm-utils-2.4.31-3.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm Hopefully this will detect the external monitor when plugged into the laptop, and possibly the "Displays" menu in RHEL6 will create the xorg.conf needed.... |
