Title:
  HDMI wired to Nvidia does not work in a Nvidia Optimus Enabled Laptop

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Having a Xinerama desktop environment is impossibe as long as the HDMI
  video port is linked to the Nvidia car in a optimus enabled laptop
  (here , the Dell XPS 15).

  Installing Bumblebee, openbox, and synergy with some tweaking, we can enable the HDMI video having a separate window manager with low quality rendering.
  No possibility to have a xinerama desktop out of the box using Unity or Gnome Shell.
