Does anyone have hdmi out working on Dell XPs 15 L502x with Fedora 25?

Hi folks,

I have a Dell XPS 15 [L502x]. It comes with an Nvidia GeForce GT525 GPU card.

It's an Optimus laptop so an Intel card powers the main display but the hdmi out port
connects to the Nvidia card.

I have never had the HDMI out work in Fedora and would like to rectify that.

Before I go back down the various rabbit-holes around optimus, bumblebee, nvidia, nouveau,
Wayland and xorg I would like to find someone who has it working - just to see what they
use, or even to know that it is possible!

If you have a Dell L502x running Fedora 25 and you have your HDMI out running please let
me know. It would be great if you could post your working config.

If you run a different flavour of linux I would also be interested.

If you could take follow on questions that would be great!

I previously posted about this on:

unix.stackexchange [I posted the question with 50 points bounty here]

It hasn't picked up mush interest, but if  receive any useful information here I will
post it back to both sites.

Hi,
I have Dell - XPS 15 9550. Works nicely on fedora 24. I can output the
screen to a TV with an HDMI cable. At first this creates an
additionnal screen next to the one of the laptop but I can also
duplicate laptop display to the HDMI TV.
I have not installed the nvidia proprietary drivers and then use the
nouveau driver.

Hi Frédéric,

That's great to hear. I think that your laptop is much newer than mine however.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
