Dell XPS M1330 HDMI and VGA as external monitor


Hello there,

more or less the subject.
The notebook has no display anymore but ubuntu works fine.

Plan is to install ubuntu 16 and use the notebook as desktop pc with two monitors.

Is there a way to set both, the HDMI and the VGA external monitor socket as expanded desktop?

many thanks!

regards! Florian
