SLED SP3 does not recognize monitor of HP635 laptop

As mentioned above SLED11 SP3 does not recognize the monitor of my laptop.
It works but the tray item says “Unknown”, nothing can be changed in the settings.
Video card in Control Center → Monitor and Display says “Vesa Framebuffer Graphics”, Monitor: “SEC Samsung LCD Monitor”.
Can anybody tell me which are the correct settings or how to look them up?

Thanks and best regards
Nadine

Hi
What graphics card, can you show the output from;

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA

What may have to happen is it needs configuring via SaX2, but lets see
what gfx card you have.

Hi
Ok, so have you run the AMD control center to see if it recognizes the
monitor?

Else with it (the monitor) connected can you post the output from;

xrandr

We might also need to run the sax2 command, so as your user press
ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a virtual console and login as root user, then;

init 3
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
init 5 && exit

Hi,
xrandr produces

Screen 0: minimum 1366 x 768, current 1366 x 768, maximum 1366 x 768
default connected 1366x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1366x768 76.0*

Ctrl+alt+f1 gets me out of the graphic interface into command line from which I don’t know how to get back in oder to copy your inputs.
What to do?

Hi
Copy them to a text file… that you can read from the console…or just print it out?

To get back to the GUI, press ctrl+alt+F7, but when you run the init 3 command, that stops the GUI (as in desktop from running) so it can prepare the xorg.conf file…

So, hopefully, when you run the above command(s) you can see the external monitor present…
