Hi all: My Dell laptop has a Intel Broadwell graphics card and an hdmi connection. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I connect an external monitor to the hdmi, the system freezes and I have to do a reboot. I have pasted the output from certain commands below. Is there a driver or a ppa from Dell I can install to solved this? I need to connect the laptop to an external projector to do presentations.
