If everything isn’t setup properly it is very likely that you will boot to a black screen, or not even make it that far. This Post will outline more about the ways in which the second monitor can be controlled on a computer running Windows Operating System such as Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, etc. I had a lot of trouble getting it to work honestly, and it was a real pain because if it doesn’t work you have to boot the OS installation medium and chroot into your install to change stuff back. When using Dual Monitors connected to a Windows Computer, there are many ways in which the second monitor can function.

I have never had a laptop with discrete graphics so I don’t really know a lot about their setup. I know on a lot of laptops with discrete graphics only a certain display output is connected to the discrete card, so if you use the KMS only that output would be the one that would work, at least until X is started and can take over to set up the other displays. It also looks like Fedora uses the noveau driver by default, you may have better luck with the proprietary driver. Looks like on Fedora with a nvidia card it is disabled by default because it may crash, but I am not sure how old that information was. The mkinitcpio stuff will be a little different between distributions, so I would refer to yours on how to set up KMS. In the end it was a combination of KMS and disabling the laptops panel with the kernel parameter that worked for me. My main goal was just getting grub and my LUKS unlock visible on my external displays as I used the laptop like a desktop. The rest was probably the video bios that the Intel driver loaded telling where to output video.

Kernel parameters make no difference here, probably just a thing the laptop supports or doesn’t. If the lid was open it would still use the built in panel for the bios.

Using SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) to Repair Windows 8 & 10Įdited by britechguy, 02 April 2018 - 10:18 AM.Most likely the laptop saw the lid closed, and since there was external displays, it used that instead of the built in panel.

What version and build of Windows 10 are you using? You might want to try: Shutdown, if Fast Startup is OFF, will have the machine turned off and when you power it up it powers up from scratch and, if Fast Startup is ON, should retain your previous system state (all settings) but will not retain your user state (the specific programs you had open). Hibernate should keep all your settings but requires you to hit the power button to cause the machine to come back on and load its prior system state from disc (which can be a very rapid process if you have an SSD). Sleep should keep all of your settings and awake as soon as the lid is lifted (or very shortly after you open it). Typically, when one closes the lid on a laptop one wants to do one of the following to the machine: sleep, hibernate, or shut down. I'm really not understanding what it is you are trying to accomplish here.
