Yeh and that (as it appears) is what has caused the problem,

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/2125220
Mesa 25.0.7+ not compatible with Intel G31 express video 

"My" Nobal (Unity) does not seem to share the problem thankfully

It does have both but the intergrated graphics does not (also the monitor is 
shared via KVM with another PC Radion 9200)

I have used the HDMI in on monitor from my Nobal MacBookPro (which actually is a res downgrade from the retina display) with the cable that came with monitor

No just the VGA
