3) I just tested it and it works. But I am not sure if I am using the noveau or intel driver right now (I think it must be noveau, since thinkpad can only output via the discrete card to external screens as far as I know and since it is listed in lsmod:

I am using xmaond as WM and lightdm for login. WORKAROUND: Initially the graphics card was set to nvidia, VGA is plugged in the whole time: - start arandr - prime-select intel - log out and login again - start arandr - VGA isn't recognized - prime-select nvidia - log out and login again: now it works! --- .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0000.01.00.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: u'/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 361.42 Tue Mar 22 18:10:58 PDT 2016 GCC version: gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.1) ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [17aa:21f5] NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K2000M] [10de:0ffb] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo GK107GLM [Quadro K2000M] [17aa:21f5] InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-18 (69 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420) MachineType: LENOVO 2447KD9 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: xorg (not installed) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.4.0-31-generic root=UUID=c2a0eb56-8f89-4a8a-b1b5-a152dfaec126 ro ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-31.50-generic 4.4.13 Tags: xenial ubuntu Uname: Linux 4.4.0-31-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 09/18/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: G5ETA3WW (2.63 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 2447KD9 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrG5ETA3WW(2.63):bd09/18/2015:svnLENOVO:pn2447KD9:pvrThinkPadW530:rvnLENOVO:rn2447KD9:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2447KD9 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad W530 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz N/A version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.67-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 11.2.0-1ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 11.2.0-1ubuntu2 version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers-* N/A version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2.2 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.10.1-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.7.0-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.12-1build2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1602529/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
