Nvidia Linux Not Detecting Second Monitor

X configuration file generated by nvidia xconfig nvidia xconfig.

Nvidia linux not detecting second monitor. When i first installed the driver i rebooted after install as well so theres that. If the first monitor is working without any problems unplug the first monitor from computer or notebook and connect the second monitor to the same cable. But if the second monitor does not support the same cable. I noticed if i have both monitors on it now counts what used to be monitor two as the working monitor but if i boot with that monitor turned off it detects and uses the first monitor just fine.

Linux debian prout 4 19 0 5 amd64 1 smp debian 4 19 37 5 2019 06 19 x86 64 gnu linux i suspect it is a problem with my drivers but i can t figure out how to install update them properly yet. The nvidia x server panel still doesnt detect my 2nd monitor at all or atleast properly. Each monitor work perfectly if it is the only one turned on at the time of booting but is completely not detected if turned on after the fact or if the other monitor was the initial one detected. I am not sure if i ran the nvidia xconfig when i installed it but i just did it now to be sure and rebooted.

After my main monitor starts displaying the desktop 5 green dots appear in the center of the second screen as if it is loading. I had update to nvidia dkms 440 44 8 on jan 2 2020. Debian 10 not detecting second monitor. The second monitor will show the linux mint logo during startup but eventually foes black.

If your monitor is not working on two different ports and two.
