Ubuntu cannot detect a simple VGA Monitor edition -
I chose ubuntu because of my limited knowledge about linux.
Now I have installed several different graphic drivers for my ThinkPad W530 and done a lot of stuff I found on forums, but it still simply does not detect the plugged-in, turned-on working vga display.
Any ideas how I can fix that without having to learn how Xserver works?
tl,dr: xandr does not detect VGA monitor

Looks like a hardware issue.

>>59722336
>proprietary drivers
Can't help you. Nvidia probably just fucking with you.
Remove that shit.
>>
I see several issues here:
>Chinkpad (Not to be confused with a ThinkPad)
>Obongo
>Shitty VGA cable
>Novidya housefire card
>VGA at all
Fix those issues and then look up "reverse PRIME".

Stop calling stuff a meme. The only thing that can be considered a meme is your shitty, spying, proprietary OS

You'd think linux would have the best support for outdated hardware, but apparently not.
>>
>>59722429
thanks for the tip!
>>59722396
I am using the open source version
>>
>>59722429
There's nothing wrong with VGA

>>59722539
>I am using the open source version
No you are not
>>
>>59722530
Works on my hardware. It's not linux' fault.

ubuntu doesn't support vga
>>
>>59722517
hows that vga monitor working for ya?

>>59722582
Using hdmi for my monitor.

You have a control panel with Nvidia logo open.

That means you're on Nvidia's proprietary driver.

Install 'nouveau' open-source driver, and see if the problem persists.
>>
The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.
>>
>>59722911
Yup it doesn't because it has no VGA :)))))))))))))))))) and you will need a Dongle™ to connect your MacBookPro™ to anything at all.
>>
>>59722863
i was using an open source version of the driver
nouveau doesn't do shit either
is there any chance that simply installing another distro than ubuntu might fix the issue?
>>
>>59722336
Xrand auto on
>>
>>59722983
Fedora generally has better driver detection than Ubuntu of late.
>>
>>59723028
Thank you!!!
Works no problem on Fedora.
>>
Debian + xfce doesn't have this problem.
