old post
have a old Lenovo b575 that I use with my desktop. Is possible to plug a 4k display over hdmi to the computer and just use it for productivity and browsing the web? Right now when I plug it in, the max resolution is 1920x1200.
Laptop specs
Processor:AMD E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics × 2
Graphics:Gallium 0.4 on AMD PALM (DRM 2.45.0 / 4.7.0-1-ARCH, LLVM 3.8.1)
Other things
My display is the Crossover 289K
My computer is the Lenovo B575
I am currently running Arch Linux (64bit) with Gnome 3.20.2
I installed the xf86-video-amdgpu-1.1.0-1
Questions
Is the old laptop hardware the bottleneck?
Is it a issue with the lack of supported graphics drivers for my particular laptop?
Is it my display/hdmi?
@FaunCB I recall hearing you use a Lenovo b575, have you tried plugging it into a 4k display?
