I have a very strange problem with using an external monitor connected to my Dell Latitude 3550 Laptop/
I have installed Linux Mint 18 with KDE5 a few weeks ago. I intalled nVidia and Intel proprietrary drivers, lowlatency kernel and KX Studio repositories with audio software I use. About a week after that one day I resumed the laptop from being suspended and my both screens were off and I couldn't get them to light up. There weren't just black. They were OFF - like disabled by power management. No backlight. I discovered that if I disconnect the external monitor the laptop display goes back on. By running the Display Configuration program, closing it and rerunning it a few times I can somehow get both screens to work. This video shows in detail what is happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1uIBEvUz9M Have you had similar problems? Could this be a bug in the Display Configuration KDE program? |
