What's the connector name when you plug in via, say, DVI? Is it "DP-1" or is it "DVI-D-1" or whatever? You should be able to see the name in 'xrandr'. Unfortunately I don't know how the T440p is wired, there are a few ways it could go. In some cases, even the "VGA" port is secretly a DP -> VGA active adapter inside the laptop. Basically I'm trying to rule DisplayPort as a source of potential issues. -ilia On Tue, Jun 18, 2019 at 4:12 PM Harald Harders <harald.harders at gmx.de> wrote:> > Hi Ilia, > > First I had upgraded from OpenSUSE 13.2 (where it worked) to OpenSUSE Leap 15.1.
