(Debian based) SteamOS, HDMI and Xorg
Hi, I installed Debian based SteamOS on a Intel NUK i5 Box with HDMI connecting a Samsung UA32C4000 TV. The graphical installer works but after installation the start of X11 fails (just stripes so it does not get the resolution right) well, some xorg.conf and xrandr magic seems to be required. I will come to that. However, the graphical installer works.. Could I "steal" the information from it to get the right monitor data? Any ideas welcome Peter

The installer probably just presumes VGA will work. I guess you can poke that into xorg.conf, but it's not going to use any of the graphics potential in your i5 box.

The GTK-based Debian installer uses gtkfb, not X11, so that doesn’t even come into the equation.
