[Bug 1040053] Re: [Dell XPS 15 L502X] no HDMI support with dual grafic card in Ubuntu 12.04LTS with 3.2.0-29-generic

 

asgard2, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/xps-l502x
an update is available for your BIOS (A12). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell XPS 15 L502X] no HDMI support with dual grafic card in Ubuntu
  12.04LTS with 3.2.0-29-generic

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a DELL XPS 15 L502x notebook with intel HD and Nvidia GeForce GT 540M  graphic card.
  installed:
  Ubuntu 12.04LTS with 3.2.0-29-generic, newest nvidia driver with bumblebee

  The HDMI port is not working.

  second monitor is plugged in on HDMI but is not recognized:

  $ xrandr
  Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
  LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
     1366x768       60.1*+
     1360x768       59.8     60.0
     1024x768       60.0
     800x600        60.3     56.2
     640x480        59.9
  VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

  A  indirect solution is to connect the monitor on the mini DP
  connector over a DP adapter:

  $ xrandr
  Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3286 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
  LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
     1366x768       60.1*+
     1360x768       59.8     60.0
     1024x768       60.0
     800x600        60.3     56.2
     640x480        59.9
  VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  HDMI1 connected 1920x1080+1366+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 269mm
     1920x1080      59.9*+   60.0
     1680x1050      60.0
     1280x1024      75.0     60.0
     1280x960       75.0
     1152x864       75.0
     1280x720       75.0
     1024x768       75.1     60.0
     800x600        75.0     60.3
     640x480        75.0     60.0
     720x400        70.1
  DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

  I hope this could be fixed. Not everybody can use the DP port.
