Problem with laptop display to TV HDMI input on BookwormPup64 10.0.8

Post by yolhurt »

I have a Thinkpad laptop with a Mini DisplayPort output. Using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable, I'm able to connect the laptop to a HDMI input on my TV. Doing this in S15Pup64, I can get my laptop display to appear on the TV and configure it using Zarfy.

When I try to do the same in BookwormPup64, the initial display I see on the TV screen is a zoomed-in section of my laptop display. There is no Zarfy application on Bookworm, so if I go to Desktop>DIsplay Settings, then select "Show the same screen on both laptop LCD and external monitor" and click apply, my full laptop display appears on the TV screen. However, I'm unable to save this setting and it reverts back to the zoomed-in display after about 15 seconds, after which the Display Settings program freezes and I have to kill it.

Anyone know why this might be happening and/or if there's any other way of configuring the display output I see on the TV? (as I did with Zarfy in S15Pup).

Are you using BookwormPup64 10.0.9?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o
