I have a Dell Latitude Laptop E6440. The laptop have two in4terfaces, VGA and HDMI. I connect an external monitor to the VGA port, but when I ran the xfce4-display-settings I see only one monitor (the laptop one ofcourse).



How can I make it to recognize the second monitor ? I already tried booting when it is connected. Still no help.



Here is some info:



I am using Xubuntu 14.04:



Linux 3.13.0-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 9 22:45:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I have a dual graphic adapter: One is:



00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)


Second one is:



01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M]

The solution was quite simple eventually. I removed the nomodeset. See here more details: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
