I come across to read the thread at http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2013-January/062818.html

I have the same problem that after video driver is installed with packages bumblebee and bumblebee-nvidia. Command `xrandr -q` doesn't detect VGA1 monitor, only showing VGA1 disconnected. 

BIOS driver is configured to 
Boot Display Device: ThinkPad LCD
Graphics Device: NVIDIA Optmus
OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus: Disabled

Changing Graphics Device to Discrete Graphics will have Xorg.0.log logged with message something like "Fail to load module nv". 

arandr also shows LVDS as well. 

How can I detect external monitor? 


I appreciate any suggestion.

Thank you.
