Hello all,
first time post and the first question
I know enough to be dangerous with Linux but not enough to be useful.
I am learning network penetration with Kali 1.0.7 64bit which if I understand is based of Debian and hit a wall with it with my laptop drivers.
I have a
Clevo W230ST that has a hybrid video card (IntelHD Graphics 4600 and a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 765M), as I understand that the nvidia optimus is not supported fully without using bumblebee.
My main aim at the moment is to get the HDMI and VGA ports working so that I can extend the desktop and disable the laptop screen so that I can use two external monitors as my main screen.
at the moment if I use the VGA and the HDMI port its just clones the laptop screen and I think this is driver related.
lspci shows the following:

But when I load the intel driver using PCI:0:02.0 in xorg it does not load and reports that they are no devices detected and no screens found in xorg.0.log
Want to the linux intel driver page and downloaded Libdrm - 2.4.52,
Libva - 1.3.0, vaapi intel-driver - 1.3.0 and configured and installed.
Confirmed with "lsmod | grep i9" that i915 module is loaded and when you load the intel driver in xorg is now lists alot more compatible hardware
Code:
[ 6.979] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,

I am now at a lost and think I have missed the point somewhere and am more then likely doing something wrong but can not think what to look at next.
long term I wish to replace my windows install with Debian with it and run a dual boot with Keli but before I start putting all that work in to in, I need to learn how to install the video drivers so I can use the system fully and make use of xfreerdp multiscreen so I can make use of works TS server.
any help given would be most welcomed.
