   2nd Monitor problem

   This morning my main computer (this one) came up but only one screen   
   was working.   
      
   The graphics card has 4 sockets. One HDMI and 3 DisplayPorts. Both my   
   screens use HDMI, so they have adapters. I switched everything round   
   and found both screens worked provided they were plugged into one   
   particular displayport.   
      
   Checking "Display" in system settings only shows one screen.   
      
   Just before I clocked off for the night, I thought I would boot up on   
   the Mint 22.1 install flashdrive.   
      
   To my surprise, delight and consternation both screens came up.   
      
   Now I need to work out where the fault lies in the software?   
      
   Suggestions please. :(
