no vga output, fedora 18, intel drivers
Hi!, some days ago I bought a VGA chord for my laptop, which is kind of old so I just use it to store movies and watch them with my family some times, so, when I hooked the VGA chord from my laptop to my LCD tv I just get a black screen no picture no nothing, I even tried on my dad's TV which is a LED tv but I get no signal on that one, so I tried a lot of forums which where no help I have tried with "xrandr" I've tried setting it as primary changing its mode, setting vga to auto, etc. So now I came for help(desperate help needed) here is my xrandr output and my system info:
[jdmg@jdmg ~]$ xrandr -q

OK, is that the card you just put in, or the onboard graphics you're trying to replace?
its an onboard video card on a laptop, I wished I could replace it but I can't get rid of it : /
If you've installed a new card, you should be able to disable the onboard card in the BIOS. If you can't find the setting, check with the OEM.
