I've been trying many combinations of xorg.conf variants and output connections.
I found a setup which starts correctly with one 2880x2560 screen across two
2560x1440 monitors in portrait mode.

Left monitor DP-4 3 |
Right monitor DP-0 2 Quadro P400 |
DP-2 1 |

But this is unstable. Without activity on my part the screens blank, and when I
hit a key, the setup is now 1440x2560 on the left monitor only. File

There seems to be a basic instability in Quadro P400 + Nvidia 460.91.03. I have
seen spontaneous changes from 1440x2560 to 2560x900 or 480x640, spontaneous
rotations, and refusals to return from power-saving blanking. Ctl-Alt-Keypad-+
has no effect
I followed your example, bought an Nvidia GF119 [NVS 310] for 41€, removed all
the nvidia packages, removed xorg.conf, installed the NVS 310 and restarted the
machine.
I got a perfect 2880x2560 screen across the two monitors. I can slide windows
from one monitor to another. but I didn't get much work done.
nouveau froze after 11 minutes. dmesg reports;

I searched at https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents for
nvd9_fuc084 but found nothing.
I downloaded file firmware.tar.gz from
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/bullseye/current/
but couldn't find any nvidia firmware.
Where can I get the required nouveau/nvd9_fuc084 ?
