I just installed Linux Mint 18 with Cinnamon on an Asus Zenbook UX303A (integrated Intel Skylake graphics chip) - everything is working fine except when I try to plug in an external monitor using HDMI.Most of the time, the GUI just freezes (no screen updates, the mouse pointer isn't moving). It works - sometimes, not reliably - if I turn the monitor on before booting my machine.I found several similar posts, but they either don't exactly match this problem or don't have any answers.Any ideas on this? Just recently switched from Windows, so sorry if I overlook something obious. Thanks! :-)
Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon - freezes when second monitor is attached

In my case, plugging in the Displays and turning them on before booting solved the issue. Seems like the UI is just not hot plug capable.Good luck everybody!
