Hello,

I have just launch a diagnose software provided by Dell:
the video memory seems corrupted (error in writting or reading).

What may I do ?

Hello,

thanks for your answer:
unfortunately I am now far away from the external screen
(this happened during a workshop).

I have indeed a switch button on my Dell Inspiron 8200 (fn + F8):
I used it to get the image on the external screen, but I forget
to switch back, hence the troubles I guess.

Is there a (simple) way to reset the settings ?


One way is to run "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg".

Another solution, is to find any CRT or LCD that can fit to your
external screen laptop port. I suggest using a CRT, which has more
tolerance regarding bad settings. Then you can try to reset things.

FYI, i am NOT sure this will fix anything. Maye your problem is of
another kind.
