Hi Ken,
it is a bit frustrating to configure Intel card with two different monitors.
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.
