I think that that could be the simple solution.
It took me two years to get an external monitor working on my Acer
V3-772G, and, to get the system working overall; the simple solution
was that Ubuntu was the only (non-MS) operating system that I could
find that had the drivers for both the Intel CPU (an i7 of the Haskell
architecture, I think, with its inbuilt graphics adapter), and the
nVIDIA graphics thing, and I found UbuntuMATE had available, the
interface that I want.
The only other (non-MS) operating system that I could find, that had a
driver for the CPU, was dragonflyBSD, but that did not have a driver
for the nVIDIA graphics thing, available.
So I left using Debian, and switch the Linux OS on my computers, to
UbuntuMATE 15.10, and and now using UbuntuMATE 15.10 (soon, hopefully,
to be upgraded to UbuntuMATE 16.04 LTS).
So, if Ubuntu gets your system working as you want, and, Debian does
not, then I suggest simply switching to UbuntuMATE 15.10, and
upgrading to 16.04, when it becomes available.
