Main Linux Mint 18.3 "Sylvia"
Base Ubuntu xenial.
After Upgrade to linux kernal 4.15.0-29
nvidia-340 (recommended) installed but fails to display alternative resolution settings and fails to recognise the second monitor.
Version 340.104-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.104
nvidia-304 installed but fails to display alternative resolution settings and fails to recognise the second monitor.
Version 304.135.0ubuntu0.16.04.2
NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.135
this all works ok with the previous kernal 4.13.0-45
I haven't tried the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open-source) driver yet. If after trying it I am still having problems I will endeavour to update this bug report if I can get to it.
