Hello!
I am attempting to get the displayport (thunderbolt) port to output a signal to my external monitor. From my 13" macbook pro with only integrated Intel graphics this works fine.
From my main 15" macbook pro with Nvidia/Intel setup I am not getting any signal output to the external monitor. So I am guessing it is a driver issue.
I want to try to use the recommended bumblebee driver to hopefully remedy the displayport issue but when I try to install it it just freezes my computer after restart. What can I do to fix this? I have been trying the same install on Xfce, Gnome and Kde with the same result.
