Public bug reported: When attaching an external screen to my Macbook Pro 15" Retina the external screen stays blank. nvidia-settings report the screen correctly.
There are three options to attach a screen: - HDMI directly - via Thunderbold port 1 and 2 I use a Moshi adapter. Cable and adapter used to work properly, HDMI direct worked till 16.04. Using Nouveau driver the external screen works fine (except for overlapping screens) from TB port 2 and HDMI port. TB port 1 works fine with VGA. Thus I presume there is an error in the nvidia 367 driver (I haven't tried the latest update 375.20 from NVidias site yet) I have reported this error under #1650891 (nvidia-367 driver) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-30.32-generic 4.8.6 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-30-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm wl nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0000.01.00.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 367.57 Mon Oct 3 20:37:01 PDT 2016 GCC version: gcc version 6.2.0 20161005 (Ubuntu 6.2.0-5ubuntu12) .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Sun Dec 18 15:09:07 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: yakkety DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Inc. 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [106b:00f7] NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] [10de:0fd5] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Inc.
