I have see a couple similar questions with this problem, but none of the solutions have worked for me.
This is on an Asus laptop with a built-in graphics card. lspci | grep VGA
shows:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
The output of xrandr
doesn't detect anything with the monitor plugged in.

I have tried two things so far, installing an Nvidia driver as described here:
Ubuntu 16.04LTS extended display not working
and upgrading the kernel as described in this blog post:
http://linuxdaddy.com/blog/install-kernel-4-4-on-ubuntu/
Neither had an effect. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
