** 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.
