   Re: 2nd Monitor problem

   I started with a Mint 22.1 system, that yesterday was running two   
   screens perfectly.   
      
   This morning only one was recognised.   
      
   I have spent the whole day following what seemed to be logical   
   instructions from ChatGPT, constantly hitting brick walls, followed by   
   "Ah - I can see the problem ... "   
      
   At the end of the day I can only get into the system by getting to the   
   Boot Menu and selecting the install flash drive but opening up in the   
   correct home page.   
      
   Still only one screen and that one over scanned!   
      
   The desktop icons have had to be reduced from small to smaller.

   mdgpu/amdgpu.ko.zst   
   exp_hw_support=1   
      
   That suggests the amdgpu modules are loaded.   
      
   The bootloader is correctly set for EFI.   
      
   I once had a charming Singaporean assistant in the days before   
   microcomputers. We used to key in transactions and their codes which   
   later became converted to paper tape. This later was transported to a   
   mainframe data centre, later returning along with a fan-folded prinout.   
      
   The problem was that he and his colleagues were forever hitting the   
   wrong keys and jamming the punch. I got over that by removing the   
   "naughty" keys and Sellotaping over the holes. Yet because of ther   
   amount of pounding the ke=yboard received, keys still jammed it.   
      
   My You friend said "Mr A" machine work hard very tired. Maybe should   
   rest.   
      
   Which is what I am going to do now.
