y Thinkpad P50 mobile workstation has an NVidia M1000M GPU to control the external monitor while using an integrated GPU to control the internal LCD, which could be similar to the NVidia 1000M GPU in some way. I have install nvidia-364 from terminal. My situation is that I have a touch screen with Active Wacom Pen enabled. The external monitor actually works in the Ubuntu Live. But with the nvidia driver installed on Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.6.0-rc5, the external monitor was not recognized at all after reboot.
Once I open the NVidia setting, some error pops up in the system log:

Also, when the laptop got started, there is an error in the .xsession-errors file:
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
What may have caused this?
