** Description changed:
I tried both nouveau and nvidia-340 drivers. It used to work at least by
the latter one in Xubuntu 18.04, even with HWE kernel
When using the nvidia-340 driver:
$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 1920 x 1200
default connected 1920x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1920x1200 77.00*
A device is connected in HDMI and xrand does not even list the
connector. When using nouveau, HDMI is listed but it shows as
disconnected.
WORKAROUND when using nvidia driver:
Log out of session. Then lightdm screen shows on both monitors. And if I then
log in to a session, the extrernal monitor works there, too.
+
+ If I use Budgie Desktop instead of Xfce as desktop environment, it will
+ automatically log out to the LightDM login screen, if I first try to
+ start that Budgie session and then the HDMI output is used as well.
