I don't have a clue why is happening:
- The only error on the XOrg logs is
(EE) open /dev/fb0: Permission denied
($ grep EE ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.*
) - Also, on display settings, there is no "Detect Displays" button, like in Ubuntu 17.10.
- I tried installing latest drivers from https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
- I tried with different cables and monitors.
- Googling, I didn't find any recent response that fit with my problem.
- Tested cable and monitor with other laptop and working without any issue.
- Tested with Live USB and working without issues.
- Both monitor working in the Login.
- Is the module
i915
the right one for ani7-4870HQ
(Haswell microarch)?
To be honest, I don't know where to start to search.
Note: In the office is working as usual with two monitors!! It is like if it's memorizing the configuration. But las week dual monitor was working at home. What did change? How to fix it?
When I tried:
So the problem it is clear that the problem is with my user.
Step to solve the problem:
~/.local/xorg
folderSo it is fixed. Also working in the office with the other monitor.
