Re: Bug#757604: Connectors for additional monitors not recognized in new laptop

[Carlos Kosloff <ckosloff@hardwarealien.com>]

I did post to user mailing lists, without getting a response.
Regarding the Debian installer, it fails on efi, I had to do a lot of 
manual workarounds to install in this new laptop with UEFI, I did not 
mention that here, because I discussed issue in the forums, good to know 
that it is getting fixed.
I was aware of the -t flag for experimental because it is pinned low by 
default.
I will add it to sources and install from there when stable kernel 
available (I just learned that it will be available soon), also compare 
xserver versions in testing, unstable, and experimental to see which one 
works on this laptop.
If nothing works I will keep the bug report open, or close it if I find 
a solution.
Thank you very much for answer.
