FatDog64: How to run HDMI display?

Post by fabrice35 »

Hello,

on my Dell G3 17 there is an integrated graphics card which is an intel and a graphics card for an HDMI display. I can run one or the other but not both at the same time. it depends on the chosen driver
I know it works with Linux Mint.
But I haven't found a solution with X11.
Any idea if that's possible?

Regard

What specific Puppy version are you trying to use?

Are you saying this Dell computer has the Intel integrated graphics in the processor and also a separate Nvidia or ATI graphics card?

This is other info we may need:

This is not what I expected :o

This is a Fatdog64 issue not a Puppy issue.
Fatdog64 is another OS using this forum.
Post a topic in the Fatdog64 section about this issue.
viewforum.php?f=60

I know, welcome to the confusion of providing support for other OS's, on a Puppy Linux forum.

Thanks rufwoof, your link made me try https://debiandog.github.io/doglinux/zz ... icdog.html and I'm very happy with this solution because I tried the Cinnamon version by ETP after a few adjustments both screens are functional
I would look at the other versions proposed in the link above, but this is very encouraging .
Great I find a puppy for my new Laptop.
Thank you!
