When I connect VGA monitor to other PC with Nvidia card (cuda driver, GPU for games), it works OK. When I run Windows in this PC, it is OK, monitor is properly detected and resolution set correctly. Problem is only with boards with Intel video chips, those are Linux unfriendly. This is report from nice mini PC, HP EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT. Until this bug is fixed you cannot expect that people will use these office PCs with Linux... $ sudo inxi -F System: Host: elite Kernel: 5.3.0-28-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.4.8 Distro: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia Machine: Type: Desktop System: Hewlett-Packard product: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT v: N/A serial: CZC611B2GK Mobo: Hewlett-Packard model: 18E5 serial: CZCxxxxxxx UEFI: Hewlett-Packard v: L01 v02.75 date: 05/04/2018 CPU: Topology: Quad Core model: Intel Core i5-4590S bits: 64 type: MCP L2 cache: 6144 KiB Speed: 799 MHz min/max: 800/3700 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 798 2: 798 3: 798 4: 798 Graphics: Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel Display: server: X.Org 1.19.6 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1024x768~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Desktop v: 4.5 Mesa 19.2.8 Audio: Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Device-2: Intel 8 Series/C220 Series High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.3.0-28-generic Network: Device-1: Intel Ethernet I217-LM driver: e1000e IF: eno1 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: ec:b1:d7:72:ea:cd Drives: Local Storage: total: 232.89 GiB used: 37.68 GiB (16.2%) ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: SanDisk model: SDSSDH3250G size: 232.89 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 227.74 GiB used: 37.68 GiB (16.5%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda2 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 36.0 C mobo: N/A Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A Info: Processes: 217 Uptime: 19m Memory: 15.53 GiB used: 1.29 GiB (8.3%) Shell: bash inxi: 3.0.32 --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: psl 1661 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: psl 1661 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: X-Cinnamon DistroRelease: Linux Mint 19.3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-04-29 (290 days ago) InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 19.1 "Tessa" - Release amd64 20181217 IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eno1 no wireless extensions.
