Hi! I installed a T2000 MXM card into my Dell m4800, everything is installed correctly. Temps are fine and the card is performing great. However, I have an eDP model with the UHD screen.  It currently displays from HDMI and the other ports, but the internal screen will not come on. I have checked and Optimus is not an option in my bios, and have read that the eDP motherboards don't allow it? Currently running Linux Mint. and have run out of ideas after trying out a bunch of different drivers. Can anyone help me? Do I need to try coreboot or something? Hopefully I can figure this out.

What card it is? From HP or from Aetina/Adlink? HP has eDP support on port D

I'm saying that because the M4800 has eDP support on port D. It also have the 3 backlight pins in the MXM slot like on Clevo and HP.

Oh! It is the HP version!

Hmm, if the pins are there how can I get them to output to the display? Is that a software limitation from the bios?

Did you try the RTX 3000/4000/5000 from HP too? You can find cheap 3000 ones but I don't know if it'll fit or not.

 

You said you can output thru HDMI, correct? What about DP?

From which HP laptop is the GPU coming from? 

 

Zbook G6 17 

 

Or HP MINI Z?

 

Can you see on the Nvidia control panel, in the Physx menu, the display ports of your card?

I think you don't know much about this laptop. You can't install MXM 3 Type B cards in the Dell M4700|M4800 because there's no space for them. Why write about something you don't know for sure? There may only be an option for the HP Z2 Mini G5.

It's from an HP Mini Z type, I don't have the funds to buy other MXM cards right now. The external display port works, but it will not display through it at startup. It will only boot through hdmi, but I can use the display port once its been booted into the os?
