It was even more difficult in the past, but things are getting better now. You could try the easy way - use live ubuntu and check if it works there. Use the Xorg command to get the xorg.conf and secure the log files. When I got my Dell 5440 notebook (and nothing was working as it should). I did following to get X running lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) This told me which chip and version was built in. Now you can start with Xorg setup Xorg --help ... -configure probe for devices and write an xorg.conf ... then run Xorg -configure or perhaps Xorg :1 -configure if you already have one running on :0 you will get xorg.conf.new file in the directory you execute it This is a good starting point to get xorg.conf with your relevant parameters and variables I ended up putting the modelines in to the config file per monitor like this (careful linebreaks because of mail whatever). I think I took them from the log file testing each output separately. Be careful, what is good for me might not be good for you, so this is just a sample.
