It's also just for the external monitors. The internal display works just fine.
<scorpion2185[m]>
I have that version too, do you have the pointer?
<scorpion2185[m]>
525 no idea about the rest
<fleischie>
No, for me it fails in the initialization phase. (Long before rendering anything on screen.)
<scorpion2185[m]>
doesn't it work on the internal display?
<fleischie>
Yes it does, but I think this is using the processors graphic driver.
<fleischie>
Or internal graphics, or whatever the name is.
<fleischie>
Because on my laptop the HDMI outputs are hardwired onto the graphics card, thus it doesn't work otherwise.
<fleischie>
"it doesn't work otherwise" = "the external monitors don't work, while the internal display does"
<fleischie>
Sorry, I am kind of distracted. :P
<scorpion2185[m]>

Some laptops have the built-in display connected to one GPU (e.g. Intel) and external displays connected to a different GPU (e.g. nVidia) and it can make things tricky

And there's a thing call a "mux" that can be involved depending on the model, and I'm not sure how well Linux works
