Extending desktop via HDMI (intel graphics)

[boofoob]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use a monitor I have with Kali as an extended desktop. Right now, it only mirrors the display, and isn't recognized by the system settings Display GUI or xrandr. I did quite a bit of research but it was fruitless Does anyone have any ideas? Here's some output, let me know if there's anything else that would be useful:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1080       0.0*
