Public bug reported:

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.
