Hi, I have installed opensuse 13.1 on HP650. But when I plug in an external monitor via VGA does not receive the signal. I need your help. In the system settings does not appear two monitor on display setting.
VGA card is HD Graphics 3000 Intel.
With the monitor connected, what does the following report?
xrandr --verbose
-With monitor unplugged
Can’t open display
-With monitor plugged
Can’t open display
I try intel driver on support OPENSUSE:
http://software.opensuse.org/package/xf86-video-intel
http://software.opensuse.org/package/vaapi-intel-driver
http://software.opensuse.org/package/xorg-x11-driver-video-intel
http://software.opensuse.org/package/intel-linux-graphics-installer
Can you provide the ‘xrandr’ output as requested?
I connect external monitor by vga and open terminal, I log with super user and type
xrandr --verbose
and on the terminal display
“Can’t open display”
You have to run it as the currently logged in user, not as super user.

so any attached external display will have to use the same timings if it can work at all IMO. (Otherwise the primary display would need to be turned off first.)
I don’t understand
Well, I expected your xrandr output to show us all the outputs available. Did you post the complete output?
I wonder which driver is in use? Please examine /var/log//Xorg.0.log and upload to http://paste.opensuse.org/
Post the link to it here.
This is all display screen with external monitor connect by VGA

Help me
Well, there’s your issue
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.10-7-desktop root=UUID=fdb78f27-64a5-49d5-8156-5808f7fec371 nomodeset resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST9500325AS_S2WPFQ64-part5 splash=silent quiet showopts
You have the ‘nomodeset’ boot parameter present. Hence the intel driver is not used. Instead the basic framebuffer driver is in use. You might like to try removing that parameter.
When I install OPENSUSE, with dvd, Ispecified “no KMS” beacuse with standard video setting don’t view anything.
Now, how to change the driver?? And what driver is better install??
If you remove “nomodeset” from the boot options (in YaST->System->Boot Loader->Boot Loader Options f.e.) the intel driver should be used automatically. There was an update to the intel driver that might already have fixed the problem you had with the installation.
If your system doesn’t boot to a GUI then please try “recovery mode” in “Advanced Options” in the boot menu, and report back please.
And the intel driver should be installed by default, check if you have “xf86-video-intel” installed (in YaST->Software Management f.e.).
Good. Now it works. I delete “nomodeset” from first line on Bootloader option.
Thank you very much.
Good to know
