HDMI - No Output

[Richard_Wegner]

IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG PLACE PLEASE SEND IT TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

I would like to know why since I upgraded from Ubuntu 13.04 to 14.04LTS I no longer get HDMI output? I was able to with no problems but now I don't get any video out. I am using a Gateway m-1625 laptop with 3gb memory and plenty of storage space on my hard drives (one external). My video card is ATI Radeon Xpress 1200/1250/1270. Do I need to update my ATI drivers or what? I don't know coding, so you would have to help me with that if that's the case. Thanks

Hello!

Unfortunately, AMD/ATI dropped Linux support for that adapter quite some time ago, so there is no driver to update to. You will need to stick with the open source driver installed with Ubuntu. There is nothing to be done about this, since proprietary drivers are supplied by OEMs, not OS distributors.

Do you at least get output to your laptop screen?

I get output to my screen, I was just wondering to show videos on the big tv screen or even show what I am doing on the big screen for demonstrating stuff. Thanks...I guess I will have to eventually get a desktop and use a TV as my monitor (assuming I can find a video card that uses HDMI output).
