I have an external monitor connected thru an hdmi port to the dvi input of an external monitor. The monitor never gets detected. I run ubuntu 17.1 with intel video drivers; lspci -v finds:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

The monitor is a samsung mega model BX2335, laptop is a toshiba tecra-z40-c, kernel is 4.13.0-32-generic. xrandr shows:

That first screen is the laptop screen. The xorg.conf looks ok afaict:

The monitors control panel doesn’t detect the external monitor. I've rebooted, run apt update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade, and tried the driver upgrades (none were found and I didn’t force anything) .
