I have an Dell Inspiron 7110 that has a Sandy bridge i7 and a discrete graphics card (GeForce 525M) from Nvidia. I want to be able to use my 23' display at home throungh hdmi but Intel integrated graphics card does not work with hdmi (VGA is not an option).

I have tried bumblebee but it does not work.

How could I use the hdmi port for my monitor. Using only the nvidia card with some driver is what I tought i could do but i don't want to give up composing because I use gnome-shell.

Any options for doing this?

HDMI support in Linux for Nvidia Cards is not supported yet.

I have the same Nvidia Card. Using bumblebee will just allow to activate the Nvidia card and use applications with its GPU instead of the integrated card (if available).

Bumblebee project & ironhide team is working on the HDMI issue. stay tuned.
If everything goes ssmoothly, the issue should be resolved by the release of Ubuntu 12.04.
