Mir does have some code that will throttle proportionally to the
advertised refresh rate. That's the 'predictive bypass' optimization.
Although even with that you should see a frames every second or two --
something would be on screen. So the monitor reporting (or Mir
detecting?) an incorrect frame rate is not the main problem.

As shown in comment #6, Mir did detect the external monitor but it was
only connected for 26 seconds. The log appears to show Mir notifying
Unity8 of this successfully so I'm not sure who is to blame for the
image remaining black.

One thing you can test right now is the cable itself. The biggest
problem we have with external monitors on the phablet is faulty display
cables. They are very common. So if you can, please test the cable on a
different device, or test a different cable.
