that page appears to be down, mind rehashing what it said to do?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Steve, running a plain ubuntu 15.04 install, I found my LIVA would keep the hdmi connection alive.

I didn't have to modify the kernel boot string or anything else - it just worked. YMMV, but worth trying.</div><div><br></div><div>-Jerry</div></div></div></div>
