Second monitor on Intel HD Graphics 4000

[Adeno]

This issue is identical to mine so I don't want to open another topic. Any news on this? I have W530 and the dock with additional ports. Does the dock DVI and Display Port connectors connect to Nvidia or the internal GPU? I once tried to set the Intel GPU but I lost the external monitor. There is an option in the Nvidia settings to choose the Intel for power save mode. But does the whole Nvidia driver need to be removed if it causes conflict after all?

I was and still am battling with the fan noise issues laid out here on this thread..

I found out the Nvidia Optimus support was introduced already on Ulyana version a year or so later than his post was made. Maybe it should solve some problems discussed here, but my issue of losing the external monitor when switching to Intel HD 4000 driver remains.
