How to find the second monitor connected to the laptop if the picture is displayed through the Intel core in Ubuntu?

Hello everyone!
Ubuntu 15.04 Laptop
asus n56vj
video there nv635m and Intel
Installed Nvidia Prime
Problem - the second monitor connected via HDMI is not detected in the mode when only the Intel core is active.
It's worth switching to Nvidia - the monitor is detected.
Can you tell me how to find a second monitor with an active Intel core?

I followed links like www.linuxrussia.com/2013/08/xrandr-linux-ubuntu.html and linuxnow.ru/view.php?id=103 . It didn’t help because either I didn’t understand something there or because xrandr does not see the desired monitor at all when connected with an active Intel core

Why Nvidia Prime? Bumblebee lets you dynamically switch between the apps you want.
Usually Nvidia works through Intel, that is, in any case, if the monitor is visible in some mode, then it should work with Intel separately.
I recommend demolishing Nvidia Prime and installing Bumblebee, I have such a configuration with another laptop.
