GT520 and HDMI

I have my GT520 card running using VGA, but if I plug in the HDMI cable
to my TV I get no VGA output and my TV cannot detect any input.

The NVIDIA configuration utility does not mention HDMI.

Any clues as to how to proceed?

cheers

So your TV is HDMI in,

restart X (or the machine ) without the VGA port plugged in at all as a
first start. and/or try different HDMI ports on the TV.

When you say VGA you are not talking DVI right? Standard old DE-15 pin
Analog VGA connector yah?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector

HDMI is plagued with weirdness caused by HDCP ... so if you are unlucky it
might be your video card not liking your TV (old old is your tv?). But try
the first suggestion before we jump to any conclusions.

I should have been clearer. I did a reboot with VGA unplugged and HDMI
cable plugged.

When I did it with both, removing (unplugging) the HDMI cable gave me
VGA output without a reboot.

I found with the cheap nvidia 210 that I had to have the NVidia driver
installed, and use this chunk in xorg.conf


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-1"
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: NULL +0+0, DFP-1: 1280x720 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection


Note mine's not 1080 so your res wll likely be different.

Hi,

Might be easier to enable both displays at the same time vga (CRT) & HDMI
(DFP).
I've got mine configured for 2 resolutions but defaults to the 1920x1080.
Here's my xorg.conf, this is on a GT220 suspect it will be the same for the
520.

The GT520 needs a recent driver possibly 275 or later.
Alsa user-space 1.0.24

GT520 has only (2) codecs so both are immediately available to alsa &
pulse.

With HDMI receiver connected & nVidia X server active:
aplay -l
dmesg | grep HDMI

If you have an onboard mobo soundcard then this may work..
speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:1,9
speaker-test -c 6 -r 48000 -D hw:1,9

cat /proc/asound/card1/eld#3.0

Look for presence detect etc..
