Hi Daniel, well first of all I sent this bug because I saw the option and I just checked.
Thougth it was something automatic and anyone would reply, so instead thanks to you!

After you mentioned, I just realized my laptop has an miniDP connector.
My monitor doesnt have DisplayPort, so I used an VGA<->miniDP adapter, a friend had a unit of exactly this item https://www.ebay.es/itm/353392052156
It didnt work. My laptop screen went black and nothing in the monitor (made sure to select VGA input).
(Im not sure if your concern about VGA still affects here, as the output port is miniDP, but still is VGA in the other end)

I just made sure that I can connect through VGA well and with FullHD, in a Windows 10 partition in this same laptop, so just discarded the option the VGA port itself is bad.
I dont understand why Linux and graphics is so hard!

Thanks a lot for your time, highly appreciated.
