Re: xenodm starts on VGA display only

My experience (years old now) with a similar model was that the monitor mode must be set explicitely,
perhaps to 1024x768/60Hz.  The scan is fixed rate and if not in sync the screen stays dark.
If it will help I could turn it on and see what is there.

The built-in display goes dark and if a second display is plugged-in via VGA port, then that display is usable, however not the built-in display. Is this a bug or a feature? xrandr only shows 1 monitor, even when the second VGA monitor is plugged it.
