The external monitor is correctly detected and I can configure the monitor - however the monitor remains black and detects no input signal. Without an xorg.conf and hdmi plugged in X starts with a wrong resolution (1024x768 isntead of 1600x900) The size&orientation system settings applet says this is no multiple monitor setup. So I created the attached xorg.conf but with no success, the external monitor remains black. This Laptop has a hybrid GPU intel/nvidia. I also tried to activate the monitor with xrandr but with no success.
