    • RE: Display Port Output Lenovo Thinkpad T420S

      Thank you for your help.

      As I said I tested a few settings with xrandr the other day and ran into the problems described above.

      Today I wanted to proceed and started out with setting the external display settings in recalbox.conf. After reboot everything works now.

      I wonder why the behavior was different when setting the same modes on my TV with xrandr.

      Anyhow, works perfectly now! Now I can finally dive into some oldschool Gaming 😉

    • RE: Display Port Output Lenovo Thinkpad T420S

      @Zing: I just saw your post, thanks for the hint. Amazing how fast you get help in this community!

      I tried some configurations using xrandr today and got it somehow to work.

      I used display HDMI1 and set it to "preferred" mode. I then got an output on my TV (ES UI). However, it got only displayed in about 2 third of the screen (upper left corner, rest of screen is black).

      When I start a game though, it is displayed on the whole screen.

      Are there any additional configurations to "scale" ES UI?

      Additional Info: Got the same result when connecting to a LCD display.

    • Display Port Output Lenovo Thinkpad T420S

      Hi community,

      First of all thank you for your work. Installation on my spare Lenovo Thinkpad T420S was a breeze and everything works...except plugging it into my TV using a Display Port to HDMI Cable 😉

      Observed behavior:

      • Plug in T420S, TV registers HDMI connection
      • Boot System
      • TV recognizes T420S, starts to display boot process
      • Integrated display shows boot process
      • Integrated display and TV show different Recalbox boot videos
      • Integrated display jumps into ES, TV goes blank

      When I connect via SSH xrandr --lsitmonitors only shows one monitor.

      I wanted to set the screen and preferred resolution in recalbox.conf. Do you have any tips for me how to get this solved or where to investigate this further?

      Regards
      radi
