- resolutions are correct, and other resolution options are available
- but the 2nd monitor is not
- Only one of the monitors (VGA connection) is recognized and detected / activated.
- The other (HDMI connection) is not.
Is this a graphics card driver issue?
Or maybe a device driver issue (or something else) not picking up the HDMI port?
Testing with Linux Mint Live (Debian 6 - Faye, Cinnamon), everything works as it should. All monitors and resolutions are correct.
Even turning off the screen after a period of inactivity, and also Suspend (& Resume) funcions work.
From the Linux System Report, I see it's using the nouveau driver.
Looked in FBSD ports, didn't see this as an option. Is it available somewhere else? If yes, and if it works with LMDE, could it not also work with FBSD?
