FossaPup can't connect to my TV via VGA-to-HDMI adapter

Post by Rottweil »

Hi there!

I have a HP Pavilion DV2700 laptop motherboard with the screen defective. So I have connected it to my TV. Because it uses a VGA, I use a VGA to HDMI adapter in order to get it working on my TV.

I tried with BionicPup x64 and it works like a dream. A few days ago I discovered you released FossaPup and I was veeeery happy and gave it a try... but looks like is not detecting the TV. TV says "No signal", I verified I'm selecting the correct source on the TV already and tried the USB on my laptop and it works fine. I also tried connecting my laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable and it works fine.

Any ideas? Maybe is there a way to copy the screen set up from Bionic to Fossa?

Regards!

My WAG (Wild-Ass-Guess) is that the VGA-to-HDMI adapter has a chip in it that requires a driver that FossaPup does not have.

Have you tried using menu->Setup->Screen/Graphics Wizard->Multi Monitor ?
If yes. What exactly happens?
