Walter Zambotti Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I am unable to configure Xorg to ignore (and stop using as its default) the None-1 video device causing me not to be able to display a desktop via the HMDI-1-1 device. It has been suggested (https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-configure-xorg/26732/3) that I disable this device in the kernel, hopefully, via a kernel option such as : video=None-1:d Does anyone know where (which file) and how (specific method) I should do this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 You can try to edit /boot/boot.cmd. Search for the line starting with setenv bootargs and add this at the end. Then recompile the boot script with the command mentioned at the end of this file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Zambotti Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 So I edited the boot.cmd file and added this line after each of the setenv bootarg ... lines : setenv bootargs "${bootargs} video=None-1:d" recompiled with sudo mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr checked the lines had made it to boot.scr and rebooted. But the None-1 video device still persists and xrandr still shows that device is being used by Xorg!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
