Hello Anthony,
Since this system is an I+A hybrid graphic system, proprietary driver is needed to do the switching job for certification. (Unless there is another way to do this)

Bug description:
  CID: 201404-14986 Dell Precision M2800

  There is no desktop on the external monitor in extened mode through HDMI / D-Sub port.
  But you can see your cursor there.

  External monitor works nomally with Mirror / External Only mode.

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04.1 + update (3.13.0-37) + fglrx-updates (2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2)
  2. Connect a HDMI / VGA cable to an external monitor

  Expected result:
  * Display should work with the external  monitor in extended mode.

  Actual result:
  * Black screen on the external screen, the only thing you can see is the cursor.
