I have a laptop, Dell N5110, with nvidia 525m. I installed nvidia-331 driver which can be found in Ubuntu repo.
When I connect my hdmi all screens are randomly stretched and very chaotic. Some parts of the laptop screen are found in DVI screen and part in HDMI screen. Screens are overlapping, but when I separate them in arandr, after applying all changes it's still unusable.
I looked in xrandr --query
and noticed that when all three screens are connected vga1 is shown as disconnected and strange virtual connected.
A similar situation occurs when there is only hdmi and laptop screen.
So basically Nvidia is not working correctly with HDMI port.
Additionally there is an issue with stretching. Because when I stretch to anything to full size it goes on both screens.
I checked Xorg.conf
and it looks like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Screen 0 "nvidia"
Inactive "intel"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel"
Device "intel"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0"
Option "ConstrainCursor" "off"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Device "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"
EndSection
Shouldn't there be more info about all screens? Or maybe there is a specific file where I can configure nvidia and add some static values?
