Hi All,
I just installed Linux Lite 3.2 on my old HP Pvaillion DV5 machine which was running Windows Vista. I have a Nvidia G98M Geforce 9200M GS graphics card. I used to connect my Sansung Tv via HDMI and it would detect it and work well with Vista. However with Linux Lite, the TV gives No Signal error.
When I go in display settings, I can see the Samsung Electric Company 50" detected as a display device. 1920x1080 @ 60hz selected. I can choose the display but i don't get a signal in the TV.
Following are the things I have already tried, without any luck:
1) installed NVIDIA 340 driver from Install drivers option
2) After installation when I go to NVIDIA Xserver settings, i don't see any displays, it just shows me two options:
a) Application Profiles
b) nvidia -configuration settings
3) I have tried installing Nvidia driver through command line
I also updated the Grub file and GFX mode settings to remember the preferred settings of 1920x1080x60
4) I tried installing Arandr, that also shows both displays but does not send the signal
I am not sure what I need to do to have the hdmi send signal to my TV. I am attaching xrandr output for your reference
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried searching online and in forums and tried possible resolutions but clearly i am not doing something right.
Thanks for your help
