Bug Description
When attaching an external screen to my Macbook Pro 15" Retina the external screen stays blank.
nvidia-settings report the screen correctly.
There are three options to attach a screen:
- HDMI directly
- via Thunderbold port 1 and 2
I use a Moshi adapter.
Cable and adapter used to work properly, HDMI direct worked till 16.04.
Using Nouveau driver the external screen works fine (except for overlapping screens) from TB port 2 and HDMI port.
TB port 1 works fine with VGA.
Thus I presume there is an error in the nvidia 367 driver
(I haven't tried the latest update 375.20 from NVidias site yet)
