Thank you for that.
The driver installation appears to have subsequently succeeded.
However, after rebooting, the system still does not see the external
monitor (using System -> Preferences -> Monitors), and
"
:~# lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device
[8086:0416] (rev 06)
"
So, the driver appears to be installed, but not implemented.
