  2. Dell Monitor works on linux but not on Windows

    I have a very odd question, and I'm pretty tech-savvy myself so its odd being the one that is helped.I've got a Dell E153FP monitor, and it only works on Linux operating systems, my GPU drivers are up to date,
    and the monitor doesn't even recognize in windows at all, like it doesn't exist (not even with device manager). On Linux the monitor works no questions asked, here are my pc specs incase you need to know them:

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600

    AMD Radeon 580

    8gb RAM

    Some important info you might want to know:

    • The monitor does go through an inactive VGA to HDMI adapter (would use an active one if I had one, as I know from experience it would work, but hopefully I don't need to, as I would need to purchase one, and I live in a fairly remote area so even 2 day shipping
      takes around a month (I live 12 miles from the nearest town))
    • I have 3 other monitors currently connected, but my GPU supports up to 5
    • Windows is Windows 10 Home
    • Linux was booted via USB
    • Drivers from Dell dont do ████

  3. Driver for Acer Monitor

    I recently got a new HP 15 Laptop PC with Windows 10. When I connect the external monitor, an Acer K242HQL I can't get the mirror image to fill the screen. The colors are different than my laptop screen. And sometimes Windows doesn't detect it at all. I
    tried to find a driver for Windows 10 thinking that would make everything work properly. On the Acer website, that Acer model doesn't have a Windows 10 driver download option, in only lists 7, 8, and Vista.

    Does anyone know if there is a driver for Windows 10 that will work with this Acer model?

    Acer Monitor works on linux but not on Windows

    Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

    I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.
