My previous message suggested xrandr -q but this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/651209/how-change-monitors-from-terminal-xrandr-cant-open-display suggests xrandr expects to run from within a running X session. If no other displays are available to test the system (or systems available to test the display) do you get the same behaviour from a live cd/usb if you have or can make one? I was going to ask about logs but Felix has already done so. Best wishes, Gareth
