Display Configuration, Outputs could not be saved due to error

Hello,

  • Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
    In Display Configuration, when selecting Enable & Primary for Laptop screen, Apply, I get the following message “Outputs could not be saved due to error”.

I have tried Nvida driver 390 Install - #10 by GLWolf but that didn’t fix the issue.
I’m not even sure if this is a nvidia issue or something else.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

Dell Latitude E6530 on Pro2X docking station with 2 x LG W2242 monitors connected via displayport to hdmi cables
Hardware layout; Dell Latitude E6530 → LG W2242 monitor → LG W2242 monitor
Hardware is all working with other systems/OS’s
Optimus in bios OFF (turned off by OMLX install prosess, not sure why!)

Looks like no one here knows the answer. Try doing an internet search. Edit: Or no one here that knows has seen your post yet.

Don’t know if this helps but found this.

Also would be helpful to know if what you are trying to do works on other Linux distro using nouveau driver.

Hi ben97
Just found your posts in https://forum.openmandriva.org/t/nvidia-drivers-and-om-lx-4/2741/19
Reading through [Chapter 8. Common Problems] now.
But going on holidays, so that will have to wait until next week.
Thanks for your tips and leads so far Ben.
