Dear Maintainer,

I installed Debian 11 on a new computer (with a single monitor during installation, connected with HDMI).

Installation went well, but the monitor came up with a very limited resolution (1024x768, I think).
After a bit of googling, I found that the drivers for the Intel graphics on this board (Rocket Lake, UHD 750) were not 
included in the 5.10 kernel that came with Debian Bullseye.  I installed kernel 5.14 from Debian Testing, and that seemed to 
solve the issue - I got full resolution (still with a single monitor attached).

Taking the system into use as my main system, I set it up with two monitors, one connected with an HDMI cable, one with a 
DVI cable.  (Both monitors are Benq 24 inch 1920x1080.)
Booting the system, it hangs during boot, with a message "VMC (outside TXT) disabled by bios".

Booting the system with only the HDMI-connected monitor attached works as expected, the system completes the boot sequence, 
I can log in and use the system.

Attaching the second monitor after boot also works, both monitors are recognized and works.

As a workaround, I tried enabling "Intel virtualization technology" in the BIOS.  Booting with both monitors attached, there 
is no longer any error message, but the system still hangs during boot (with a blank screen).


I would expect the system to boot also with two monitors attached.
