Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as
Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and
you should expect some breakage.

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?

Title:
external monitor not supported on 16.10
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Lenovo w530 w/ Nvidia GK107GLM [Quadro K2000M]
Nouveau finds the VGA monitor and everything works *but* the monitor
is laggy. Seems that's a known issue.
So I install the nvidia driver (add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-
drivers/ppa; apt-get update; apt-get install nvidia-378), but when the
laptop reboots I don't have the second monitor. It doesn't show up in
nvidia-setup.
I've gone back as far as nvidia-304 (yes, one at a time, yes
rebuilding ramdisk and full rebooting, and yes it's slow and painful),
but none of them give me the plugged in monitor.
I'm happy if you want to walk me through get/patch/compile to do
testing. I'd just like (a) a non-laggy experience on the second
monitor.
Thanks!
