Hello.
I have just realised the presence, and, extent of the presence, of the
spelling/typographical errors in the last previous message that I
posted about this; above, so am posting it again, hopefully with all
of the errors corrected.
I'm afraid your grade can't be modified at this point however
grammatically laudable your continued efforts.
This -- made me smile.
Curt at his succinct and pithy best.
As for you, Bret. I'm going to try to find an extra monitor around here
this weekend to see if I can find a) your problem, and b) a solution.
I'll also have to do a little spelunking in the message archive to see
if I have any chance of roughly duplicating your hardware setup.
I've used multiple monitors in testing before with various graphics
subsystems and don't remember any drama. I quit only because I'm
probably better off not seeing one monitor well than not seeing two
monitors well.
Dangit, old age. For all I know there was *lots* of drama, and I just
don't remember it!

Hello.
I hope that the information below, is helpful.
The problem computer is an Acer v3 772 laptop computer, running Debian
7 .x and LXDE, now with bumblebee installed; the noveau version of
bumblebee, did not work, so I installed the nvidia version of
bumblebee, and that still did not work, and that system has an NVidia
GEForce GT750M graphics accelerator.
It does not detect the external monitor.
The external monitor runs okay with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, on the same
hardware, regarding which, from a previous message;
"
However, from Ubuntu 14.04.1.LTS, which I have now installed, and got
the external monitor working, and display output directed to only that
monitor, I have

Oh, rats! I had mixed up your situation and one that I saw on a forum.
Yeah, there's no chance I can match that hardware setup. I'm guessing
that later kernels are going to support that video hardware just fine.
I will still do some noodling around this weekend to see if I can come
up with a bright idea -- or even a dumb one. But I'm afraid I'm not
going to be of much use to you.
I'm sorry.
Jape
