Hi,

I'm not sure that the best solution is the complete change in distribution,
when the problem is more likely to be in a low level software component.
However it is extremely interesting that you have software that works.
(Even windows only offers me the VGA port when I attempt to set dual monitors.
However I am no windows guru.)

I wonder if you would be able to tell me what version of the intel xorg graphics driver
you are using.
The latest drivers would appear to originate at 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/
and the last tagged release there is 2.19.0, and the ubuntu package I have installed is 
2:2.19.0-0ubuntu~xup1, for xserver-xorg-video-intel. So I assume they correspond.

I would assume that the nvidia graphics comes in at a higher level and that the intel graphics
handles the piping to HDMI, LVDS, VGA etc. So bumblebee or ironhide possibly wouldnt matter.

Thanks for replying,
Peter Garrone
