I have a problem with an external monitor.
Info:
- laptop: HP ZBook with Nvidia Quadro M1000M (4k graphics)
- external monitor: Samsung SyncMaster2032BW
- OS: dual boot with Win 10 + Ubuntu 16.04
- graphic driver: X.Org X server
Issue
Booting to Win 10 works fine. However, when booting to Ubuntu, the booting process is interupted and both screens stay black and I have to do a hard shutdown.
If I disconnect the monitor, boot to Ubuntu and then connect the monitor, go to Settings -> Display it immediately activates the external monitor. After that, everything works fine.
I've tried using HDMI (laptop) to DVI (monitor) but the boot issue persisted. Furthermore, when I disconnected the HDMI the laptop started emitting loud noise.
Can someone help?
regards, seba
