Re: HDMI is unreliable with nvidia optimus on asus n53sv

 

And what if the HDMI port doesn't even appear in xrandr? This is a post in Debian Forums talking about my problem, any suggestion?

Apologies to all, especially Michael.
It is not a software problem, rather a loose cable.
Using the same cable to connect a DVD player it worked fine.
But stretching it 5 meters to my laptop appears to cause it to disconnect one of its pins,
or possibly noise. The display is always recognised by the laptop.
Pushing the head one way and the body another way causes the display to recognize the laptop,
after that it works fine.

Hi,
I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS with latest packages all software including bumblebee.
The laptop is an asus n53sv

If a HDMI display is plugged in, it can work, but mostly does not.
If a sony monitor is plugged in immediately after the grub menu, then the monitor displays either on boot
or after a disconnect/reconnect/redisplay cycle.
A panasonic plasma TV did work, once, but now does not.

HDMI displays are always detected by the software, either xrandr or settings/displays, when activated, with correct resolutions
in displays.

Any ideas on this welcome,
Peter Garrone
