[SOLVED] xrandr can't see HDMI output

[g4s8]

I have a laptop with i915 + nvidia graphic cards configured using optimus.

I'm trying to connect TV with HDMI cable as an additional monitor, but TV show message "no signal" and xrandr show "HDMI1 disconnected".
(I've read a lot of forum topics about HDMI output with optimus, such as https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA_Opt ... figuration)

I can assure that the cable is OK and TV configured correctly, because I'm able to connect another device using same cable and same TV settings, and it's working fine.

When I'm connecting HDMI cable there are no logs in Xorg.0.log file, the only message in logs is

Code: Select all

ACPI event unhandled: video/switchmode VMOD 00000080 00000000

in /var/log/messages

here is xrandr output

I tried to edit xorg.conf file to detect HDMI output manually, but without success:

Code: Select all

    Identifier     "intel"
    Screen      0  "Screen0"     0 0

    Option         "AccelMethod" "glamor"
    Option          "DRI" "3"
    Screen         0
EndSection

# tried to add these sections:

#EndSection

#    Option "RenderAccel" "true"

#EndSection

Maybe I need to reconfigure kernel somehow or update xorg.conf?

You're using an intel only config, so you don't see the hdmi that's connected to the nvidia gpu. PRIME config:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi ... 0/#5203910
You'll also have to switch opengl to nvidia
eselect opengl nvidia

I've uninstalled bumblbee and switched to pure optimus config as described in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus
Now it's working, thanks a lot.
