Has anyone gotten external VGA to work on a Thinkpad W530 or similar? <br><br>I'm running Debian and have the latest version of bumblebee installed, which is working just fine. Pressing fn-F7 (the key with the projector icon on it) causes the screen to blink for a moment, then come back with no changes. <br>
<br>The Monitor Preferences list only one screen (I'm using MATE as my desktop). <br><br><br>I've tried using xrandr, but VGA1 still says its disconnected. <br><br><br>michael@speed:~$ xrandr --addmode VGA1 1024x768<br>
