Dear All,
I installed CentOs on a brand new Dell Lattitude E5430.
I did a minimal install, then did a "yum groupinstall Desktop" and I
installed xorg-x11-drv-intel.i686.
Also, I installed a i686 CentOs on a 64bit system, thinking because it
has 4Gb or ram, It makes no difference.
The screen is split top to bottom on the left hand side.
This was quickly solved by adding "nomodeset" to the kernel line in
/boot/grub/menu.lst,
however now I can't add an external monitor or beamer.
Next I ran " Xorg -configure" and switched between vesa and intel
driver, but the only thing that clears the spit screen so far is nomodeset.
Here is some hardware info:
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated
Graphics Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 2
bus info: pci at 0000:00:02.0
version: 09
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
resources: irq:28 memory:f6c00000-f6ffffff
memory:e0000000-efffffff(prefetchable) iopor
t:f000(size=64)
I googled this and found some posts ( not with Centos ) from people
reporting this solved by updating BIOS and adapting all sorts of settings.
Can anyone help me with this?
Many thanks already.
Greetings, J.
