I'm currently dual booting Kubuntu and Debian with KDE. Kubuntu works fine without an xorg.conf file, but Debian does either not recognise the first monitor or the second monitor, and doesn't use Optimus correctly.

As it's a fairly complex setup, I don't really found a working xorg.conf file for Debian and I don't know what to write in there exactly, so I want to generate a xorg.conf file in Ubuntu to use the same in Debian. When I try to generate a xorg.conf file with nvidia-settings, only the second monitor gets recognized and it doesn't use the Intel HD Graphics.

Xorg -configure does the same thing.

Details:
I'm using an HP Laptop which is connected to a second monitor with HDMI.
