Christopher, I have finished the bisection (man, that took a long time!)
and I have attached the output.

The summary is that commit 4efa83c8c786ab7ec7982e3dd348cb7e7ecbeb04 is
the one that fixes things. This makes sense because I am attaching my
external monitor via a DP->VGA dongle, mentioned in the description.

So, what next?

Thanks again for your assistance.

David

Title:
  Kernel 4.2 does not detect external monitor

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On xubuntu 15.10.

  Kernel version 4.2.0-18-generic x86_64 does not detect an external
  monitor when it is connected via the minidisplay port. Using xrandr, I
  can force output to the monitor, but the maximum resolution is
  1024x768 (I think). Hardware is a Dell XPS 13.

  Upgrading to the mainline kernel in the 4.3 version stream eliminates
  the problem.
