RE: Dell R440 with Debian 10.7.0 Display Issues

["Doug Windle" <doug@aceaudiocom.com>]

The embedded VGA compatible controller is a Matrox G200eW3 102b:0536 rev 04

I updated the package sources configuration file is to use the
apt-add-repository command and added the non-free package for all sources
and it now works!!

apt-add-repository non-free
apt-get update




Thanks,

That's good.  It's probably an Intel chipset.

Now, use lspci -nn and dmesg | grep -i firmware to see what you need to do.
