Hi, I connectet my laptop to my TV with hdmi. I want to use it primarly on my tv, leaving the screen of the laptop closed. But when i close the laptopscreen the tvscreen goes off too. With my former Distro I had the same problem, but I could switch to an Intel-driver which solved it (I think it was i915)
Here are the specs of my machine.

When I look for possible drivers for the gpu I get this:

Is there a way to install the Intel-Driver or a way to close the Laptopscreen without affecting the hdmi-port? Thank you
