External screen detected but not working on DisplayPort
Posted: Tue May 28, 2013 3:40 am
I'm running up to date Ubuntu (Raring) on my Thinkpad X220 and stumbled upon weird problem.
I can connect to an external 24 inch DELL U2312HM external screen using DisplayPort cable.
I tried the same connection at work, with similar, but larger screen - 27 inch DELL U2713HM using the same cable.
When I check >>Settings >> Displays the display is detected. However I'm looking at dark screen.. Bizarrely - when I hit the PrtScr - I can also see it correctly with Ubuntu walpaper o_O
The monitor is detected and works correctly when using [DisplayPort to DVI-D Adapter Cable (Single Link)] however the resolution on this setup is limited to 1920 x 1200 so I'd really like to take advantage of DVI since the laptop should support it.
How could I fix this issue?
