Branch : jessie/sid, sources set to "testing"
Kernel: linux-image-3.14-2-amd64
Problem: this laptop does not recognize additional monitors, not VGA nor
HDMI.
I have been told that the kernel I am using is not suitable for this GPU
and that I need kernel 3.16.
In Debian this kernel is only in experimental, an rc marked as buggy,
however, this kernel has gone stable and siduction derivative has it.
I am not sure if loading this kernel will solve problem, or if problem
is in drivers.
Please send some advice on how to correct.
Thank you.
