[ubuntu] HDMI no longer working in 16.04

samedi 30 juillet 2016

So I upgraded to 16.04 (I know I'm late) and today I wanted to use my HDMI to watch a movie on my computer on my TV (if that makes sense) but even though it's connected, it just doesn't show up. Usually when I turn the TV on, what's on the computer displays on the TV... I tried to reboot with the TV on to see if that would help and... I don't quite know how to explain what happened, but what appeared on the TV was my desktop proper... but what was on the computer was my desktop with the wrong background and no menus available. That was quite strange. Also when I check sound, I can set the sound to HDMI but no actual sound comes out the TV when I do this.

Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? I know my graphics card is an AMD if that matters.

EDIT
okay tried the reboot with the TV on again to see if maybe it'd work this time and I figured out what's going on... it's basically treating my TV as an extended monitor. If I move my mouse over to the right on the TV it appears on my computer monitor and vice versa. Is there a way to get it to display the same thing on both or flip them around?? This is really weird.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
