External monitor not displaying until AFTER login...


Linux Mint 21.3 Xfce edition

I use an external monitor for my laptop when I'm not traveling.

When I boot the laptop, I have to pull it out of it's shelf, open it up to log in... ...THEN the external monitor works.

Every time it goes to lock screen, the external monitor dies and I have to repeat.

How do I set LM to drive the external monitor at all times?

Show input/output from running inxi -GSaz --vs and grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub while the external display is connected and working and I'll give you something to try.
