Good morning and pardon me if this is a dead end question. I have seen some references to it in the archives including a couple of responses from Intel folks saying NO. The most recent was dated 2011 so I am hoping the answer may have changed.

I have a couple of Dell Inspiron 3050 PCs with "Intel HD Graphics". The machines have two video outputs (Displayport and HDMI) and WILL drive two monitors. However, I have not been able to establish separate X screens. Here is a little more detailed information about the hardware:

from lspci:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 0e) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0703
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 91
        Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Memory at c0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at f080 [size=8]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: i915

Operating systems include CentOS 7, Ubuntu Mate 15.10 and Linux Mint Mate 17.3 although I do not think that is a limitation.

Can someone offer a definitive NO which will put me out of my misery - I will fill one of the video sockets with epoxy and never connect two monitors :-) Or a "yes it is possible" in which case I will continue banging my head against the problem.

Many thanks,

Ken
