+ The HDMI port is not working via Ubuntu 12.04LTS with 3.2.0-29-generic, newest nvidia driver with bumblebee.
  $ dpkg --status nvidia-current | grep Version

+ This also doesn't work in Saucy via nouveau (i.e. no nvidia

  second monitor is plugged in on HDMI but is not recognized:
- 
  $ xrandr

  LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
     1366x768       60.1*+

  VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  
  A  indirect solution is to connect the monitor on the mini DP connector
  over a DP adapter:
  
  $ xrandr
  Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3286 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
  LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
     1366x768       60.1*+
     1360x768       59.8     60.0
     1024x768       60.0
     800x600        60.3     56.2
     640x480        59.9
  VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  HDMI1 connected 1920x1080+1366+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 269mm
     1920x1080      59.9*+   60.0
     1680x1050      60.0
     1280x1024      75.0     60.0
     1280x960       75.0
     1152x864       75.0
     1280x720       75.0
     1024x768       75.1     60.0
     800x600        75.0     60.3
     640x480        75.0     60.0
     720x400        70.1
  DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  
- I hope this could be fixed. Not everybody can use the DP port.
