Check out this link, and installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver along
with Bumblebee. This solved another problem when the NVIDIA driver was
installed which caused GDM to crash on boot. However, this did not
solve the issue with the HDMI output. I still show only the main
display in gnome-control-center, no HDMI display.
I suspect, therefore, that the problem is with the other VGA device
showing on lspci:
VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device
[8086:591b] (rev 04)
which shows as "Intel Kabylake HD Graphics GT2" in
/sys/bus/devices/0000:00:02.0/label

Note that there does not appear to be an Intel Optimus device on the
system, the NVIDIA card if an Intel GeForce GTX.
