I have a #linux question for the class.

I have this jailbroken Intel Chromebook running #debian 13. The screen is broken and I wanted to try and run with no screen, just HDMI (like a pi 500)

When the eDP is installed the HDMI works and screens mirror. And I can even unplug the eDP and it continues to run.

However, it won't even post or get to a pingable status when trying to start it up with no edp LCD installed.

Any ideas why?

Possibly you could just put a fake cable in? I do not know fully how it gets detected,...
