It looks like this laptop has hybrid graphics, ie. an integrated Intel "Ironlake" GPU on the "Arrandale" Core i3 M380 CPU and a discrete AMD GPU (possibly a Radeon HD6370M?). The HDMI port is probably connected to the AMD GPU.
There is not much support for this configuration under Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE or any other version of Linux. However, you can try the vga_switcheroo feature in the open-source drivers - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk0OQ and http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk1NQ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883877 Title: no HDMI output on HP pavilion dv6 (6250) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/883877/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
