I've been working on this issue for quite a while. Back in January of 2015 I posted about how well external monitors worked with the out-of-the-box CentOS 7 ATI radeon drivers and my Dell M6500 with an ATI FirePro M7820. At the time the support was seamless and 'Just Worked' without any issue. A few months later, some update came down the pipe and this broke completely, with the same projector that had been working fine for a while. It just simply quit working. The docked d...

Just a heads up, since I know gkrellm is in EPEL and not in the main CentOS repos. However, something fairly fundamental has changed, as prior to updating, gkrellm worked fine, but now every time I execute gkrellm the kernel panics. I'm going to triage on a different machine, as the panic corrupted at least one system library used by nautilus, but rpm -Va is your friend in these

...better than HDMI, which can partially pull out with no warning, and no screws like DVI or VGA to deal with. Having said that, I feel just about the opposite about the mini-displayport connector; I'd much rather have an HDMI . But the miniDP does save space.... My CentOS 7 Dell Precision M6500 laptop (ATI Firepro 7820 graphics with the stock CentOS ATI driver, not the Catalyst/fglrx one) is driving three 1920x1200 displays (two dell 24 inch 16:10 and the laptop's built-in 17.1 inch) very well indeed. When I take the laptop to the conference room, I can plug in the projector afte...

Since my current monitor appears to be slowly dying, I'm looking for a replacement. I generally use hardware replacement as an excuse to get something bigger/better/faster than what I had before, so I'm currently considering something like a BenQ GW2765HT. The manual for my Intel motherboard has this to say about DisplayPort on the built-in graphics controller: QUOTE: DisplayPort?s

Well, I got my user back to being able to use his system, but I've still got one issue: it's running on the VESA driver - there is *no* Catalyst build for this monitor, for CentOS 7. From a lot of googling, nothing's been done since the summer of '14 (lspci reports it as a FirePro V3900). Any thoughts, or pointers, as to if/how I can get X - he's running KDE - to see the full

However, I do notice some differences between my M6500's login screen and the login screen of th...

Is xorg-x11-drv-ati installed? I am running a FirePro M7820 in my Dell Precision M6500, and everything 'Just Works' with the xorg-x11-drv-ati package (and its dependencies) installed. I even get triple monitor support at 1920x1200 while docked, using the dual DisplayPort outputs on the dock, on two 24" Dell monitors plus the M6500's 17" display. For using...

Hi All; I have a Dell M6400 with an NVIDIA Quadr FX 3700M card. Is there any way for me to setup 2 external monitors as opposed to one external monitor and the laptop screen? Thanks in advance

...nd the two other displays as one on the left and one on the right. The good side is that nothing major seems to have broken. Update for me was 1,260+ packages totaling about 1.3GB and taking a grand total of about 25 minutes, start to finish (prior to the reboot). Hardware is a Dell Precision M6500 Core i7 740QM with 20GB of RAM, all but /home on a 256GB SSD with /home on an HGST 1TB HDD. Kudos to the build team for the quick turnaround, and for the CR repo.

...anges work best as a disruption; some changes work best as a gradual thing. It really depends upon the change. I experienced one of the nicer things about CentOS 7 in the desktop setting today, as I hotplugged a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter connected to a projector system into my Dell Precision M6500 laptop and watched it automatically configure the resolution and extend the desktop to the projector. I experienced a similar nicety when I docked the laptop that has two DisplayPort outputs connected to two Dell 24 inch displays and automatically got three-head operation (ATI/AMD Firepro 7820...

...e; I'm migrating my work's ownCloud to C7 from the rock-solid C6 box entirely due to PHP versioning issues with an ownCloud app we want to use, which requires PHP >=5.5 (Software Collections for C6 gets us to PHP54; SCL for C7 goes farther). After all, I bought my used Dell Precision M6500 mobile workstation specifically because it is certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux use (most of the Precision mobile workstations can be ordered from Dell with an RHEL subscription as an equally-well-supported OS option to Windows). CentOS 7 is perfectly at home on it, and all typical 'l...

...purpose Enterprise (and Enterprise != Server) OS where one of the many use cases is as a traditional server. Other use cases exist, and are targeted by upstream as being valuable market segments. That includes the Dell Precision Mobile Workstation line of high-end laptops (like my 2010-vintage M6500), as well as the Precision Workstation desktops and the PowerEdge servers, all of which can be ordered from Dell with a fully-supported RHEL factory-installed. But there is also the virtualization market and the lightweight containers ('cloud') market. And now there is the IoT market,...

Hello, My server with CentOS 6.8 just failed PCI scan, so I'm looking into vulnerable packages. PHP 5.3.3 have multiple vulnerabilities, some of them are fixed/patched or have some kind of workaround. But I can't find a way to fix this one. Red Hat state: under investigation. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2016-4073 This CVE is 6 months old, and it doesn't look like it

I am looking at getting a new Thinkpad with an i5 processor. I was curious to what extent this would speed up developing a Ruby on Rails app. I am guessing that this depends to what extent multi-threading is utilized, but I am not sure---hence the question :^) If it is not that significant, my other choice would be to get a used Thinkpad or Mac Pro, duo-core. So is there a significant
