I saw that many of HP envy users (and some other hardwares) are having problems while using Ubuntu (some other distributions too).

PROBLEM

My main issue is make my HDMI or Mini-display-port work on Linux (Ubuntu). I`m able to make it work smoothly on windows only :(

TIP

Some guy create a blog, that is very nice and I could found some helps over there. But is kind of abandoned.

General Purpose

The idea of this post is to put together all users and share though under this issue.

Thanks in advance for any reply/comment.

UPDATE1:

Looking THIS comment I could start to see something at the end of the road! I will wait for some reply on this. If I have more news I`ll update this post!
