Debian (Jessie/Stretch/Sid) installer

yco · 06-28-2017, 01:24 PM

Hi,
The installation of the latest patch went without any problem.
Yet, after installation and post-install procedures, my second screen is recognized and i can set it up with xrandr/arandr etc.

The problem is that the screen is frozen, it displays either a black screen or a fixed image of what my main display was displaying at the time of the set up.

Has anyone encountered such a problem?

Regards,
Yoann

I'm on a DELL XPS 13" (9350), running Debian stretch (9.0) on a 4.9.0-3-amd64 linux kernel.

EDIT: didn't see the related issue on github, where it seems to be related to intel graphic cards: issue#68
I am testing, will update the post if it works for me.

Hello,

Sorry but i never had this problem.

After used this command : ./displaylink-debian.sh for the installation, i use this 2 commands only :

# xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
# gnome-control-center display

I hope that help you.

Good luck

Indeed, that was linked to the Intel graphic card.
The solution to the 'black screen issue' can be found here: adangel's comment

After rebooting, deplug replug the DL dock and follow the post-install instructions as usual!

Thanks
