Re: Debian installation on laptop with damaged screen



Dne, 13. 02. 2010 10:46:41 je Odd napisal(a):

I suppose there's a way to change the display output from
Bash. Anybody know how? My googling has come up short.


Don't know about that, but here's what I do:
-- check out thoroughly any display-related BIOS settings
-- connect the external display BEFORE powering up the computer
-- selecting a non-graphical boot mode from the CD (text-based or ncurses install) -- booting up with the laptop screen closed (and an external keyboard connected) or, alternatively, by just manually holding down the lid-closed switch/button.
