Hi All,
I am writing in the hope that someone might know how I can set up my Lenovo T530 to use a Dell U2717D ultra high definition monitor connected via the Display Port. My laptop is always run from mains power so I'd be happy to abandon the switching functionality and just run all graphics through the GPU if that fixed things.
At present, when I plug it in, although the monitor does detect a connection, I have a blank screen and it says there is no signal coming from the computer. My older monitor connected by a VGA socket worked fine. I have seen my new U2717D monitor work via HDMI connected to another computer.
I have bumblebee installed and am using an NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [NVS 5400M] (rev a1) (NVIDIA optimus) GPU.
Please let me know if any more information in addition to the below would help.
Thanks,
Simon
Each time I boot up the T530, I have to switch the graphics card on using
sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ONAfter this I see:
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
0000:01:00.0 ONI have no xorg.config file and I have been unable to get fn+F7 to do anything although for a thinkpad, this should change the display arrangements.
This is the graphics driver I use:
