Dell XPS15 L502x Mini Display Port not working Ubuntu 13.04
Before i had Ubuntu 12.10 running on this laptop and the mini display port worked. Now i have Ubuntu 13.04 and the mini display port does not work anymore. If i connect my external monitor using a vga to mini display port adapter (as i did with ubuntu 12.10 too) nothing at all happens. Not even a flicker. I have bumblebee installed.

What can i try to make it work? As far as i know, the mini display port is connected to the intel graphics card.
Solution 1:
Found the solution:
xrandr --addmode DP1 1920x1080
xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of LVDS1
works like a charm
