[SOLVED]Can't have another monitor working with MGA7

Postby adhefe » Mar 23rd, '19, 04:13

Hi,

Tried attaching another monitor to my laptop using a HDMI cable. In Systemsettings5 > Hardware > Display and Monitor a window popped up to choose the way the second monitor was to be used (to the left, to the right, etc). However, after marking the option the monitor was not activated as an aditional screen area = No signal in the attached monitor.

Tests with another distro worked just fine.

Is this a known bug, a mageia-prime bug, a KDE problem?

I was looking for another report like this in this forum but couldn't find.

Thanks

After updating to new kernel, mageia-prime-install is again working and X server is on. Using the dedicated GPU, the attached monitor works fine. But, if I go back to the integrated GPU with mageia-prime-unistall the second monitor doesn't have signal as reported above.

Seems the issue is called for in our bugzilla:

Sure. And I think it is a mageia-prime bug, btw.
