I have OpenSuse 13.1, AMD 64 bit, HP Laptop. I would like to use this laptop, connected to a TV to watch movies off the Internet. Right now when I connect the TV is black screen with a message that says “No source” . What can I do to make this work?
Thanks,
Ron
More information would be useful:
/sbin/lspci --nnv
KDE
danorske@linux-8j2w:~> /sbin/lspci --nnv
/sbin/lspci: invalid option – ‘-’
Usage: lspci <switches>]
Basic display modes:
-mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an obsolete format)
-t Show bus tree
Display options:
-v Be verbose (-vv for very verbose)
-k Show kernel drivers handling each device
-x Show hex-dump of the standard part of the config space
-xxx Show hex-dump of the whole config space (dangerous; root only)
-xxxx Show hex-dump of the 4096-byte extended config space (root only)
-b Bus-centric view (addresses and IRQ’s as seen by the bus)
-D Always show domain numbers
Resolving of device ID’s to names:
-n Show numeric ID’s
-nn Show both textual and numeric ID’s (names & numbers)
-q Query the PCI ID database for unknown ID’s via DNS
-qq As above, but re-query locally cached entries
-Q Query the PCI ID database for all ID’s via DNS
Selection of devices:
-s <domain>]:]<bus>]:]<slot>].<func>]] Show only devices in selected slots
-d <vendor>]:<device>] Show only devices with specified ID’s
Other options:
-i <file> Use specified ID database instead of /usr/share/pci.ids.gz
-p <file> Look up kernel modules in a given file instead of default modules.pcimap
-M Enable `bus mapping’ mode (dangerous; root only)
PCI access options:
-A Use the specified PCI access method (see -A help' for a list) -O <par>=<val> Set PCI access parameter (see -O help’ for a list)
-G Enable PCI access debugging
-H <mode> Use direct hardware access (<mode> = 1 or 2)
-F <file> Read PCI configuration dump from a given file

Sorry, that should have been
/sbin/lspci -nnv
This will report the driver in use as well. Just post the output pertaining to your graphics device.
Is this what you want?

Yes, but in future please enclose output within
...[/CO..] tags. Anyway, have you tried configuring the second display via 'System Settings'>>'Display and Monitor'? With the external monitor connected, note what is reported by
xrandr
you are using the open source radeon driver you might try the ATI propritary driver
I might be wrong, but I think the proprietary driver is no longer an option for legacy hardware such as this.

You might start by completely booting with the TV both physically connected,
turned on, and with the HDMI connect source already selected on the TV. It
just might work automatically that way, especially if the laptop’s
default/preferred screen resolution matches that of the TV (e.g. both 1920x1080).

I’ve got it on the TV now I just need to figure out how to adjust it to make it usable.

Good to know. When you say adjust it, what do you mean? Be aware that some TVs scale/overscan internally, so that the image is not always as sharp as one might expect or fully displayed.
Okay, so I can see it is connected and set at
HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1600mm x 900mm
1920x1080 60.0 + 59.9 30.0* 24.0 30.0 24.0
You laptop display is reported as
LVDS connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1440x900 60.0 +
Yes, adjust it I mean size scale, it doesn’t offer anything smaller than 1900X1080. That’s too large for my 65" screen. This TV is a rear projection screen.
thanks for the help.
Ron
I’m still not sure that I understand you. If you mean that the image is overscanned (ie missing edges), then often the display itself can be reconfigured not to do so. You might need to refer to the operating manual. Lowering the display resolution is not going to help here, and will result in an image that is not as sharp anyway.
And don’t forget to enable the Sound on hdmi:
