I have a laptop (Aspire 3750G) and suddenly after it shut down because of overheat - I can't see my HDMI back.



xrandr -q returns me only LVDS-1, VGA-1, and VGA-1-2.



I'm using nouveau driver since Linux installed on this laptop (Ubuntu first and Arch Linux last >year) and never had HDMI issues before.



So my assumption is this is something wrong with the hardware and the question is - how can I check hardware HDMI status in Linux?

  • OK, not sure what was the reason but after next attempt to upgrade and reboot - suddenly HMDI went back... I love you, Linux. What else I did - "turned off and on again" (c) LVDS-1 and VGA-1.

xrandr checks hardware HDMI status, if that doesn't show an HDMI- then there is a problem with video subsystem. Perhaps,



  • the driver is corrupted, or misconfigured

  • the card itself is failed to initialize

  • there is a BIOS/UEFI option to enable dual-monitor or HDMI
