Very frustrating.  When I connect a monitor with HDMI,  I can get at least one
screen working and I am able to F8 between the monitor and my laptop screen.  I
can't get both screens simultaneously working.   xrandr with the VGA monitor
always causes both screens to go black.  What a pain.

Is there another video driver I could try?  This linux intel driver does not
seem to work with my machine.  I don't know if this is a driver bug, or the
mageia people did not compile it so that it works with a dell laptop.

Well, at least I can make my presentations using linux, copy to a flash drive,
and boot into Windows 8 for connecting to a projector. The Windows OS works
fine for connecting to external monitors.  Thanks for your help.
