Woohoo! It finally did something useful.
To get dual monitors working, you need to think about your options. Either
force the setup via xorg.conf, or let your desktop handle it via xrandr.
I think that you might have accidentally configured a combo of xorg/xrandr
that sent us down this rabbit hole in the first place...
So for right now, try startx, and see if it brings up the second display.
Okay. I put a copy of my xorg.conf from ENU-1 on ENU-2. I edited it to
change the nVidia board model to match what's in the machine. I did a
restart.
Probably unrelated, but when I start up in run level 3, it stops with:
ENU-2 login: 190117 08:35:33 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with
databases from /var/lib/mysql
I hit <enter> and I get
Welcome to Linux 4.4.157 (tty1)
and then another login prompt, and can continue. However, startx is back to:
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) no screens found(EE)
(EE)
And /var/log/Xorg.0.log complains about not finding the nvidia module,
which makes sense.
This might be something we need to mess with at a PLUG clinic. Using your
config from Ubuntu should work, but it gets cranky and I need to actually
see how it fails before I can help.
TBH I don't think it's possible to troubleshoot multimonitor problems with
email. The errors are always visual.
Yeah, it's hard to see through email. :-) See you on Sunday.
