Hello Felix, thanks for your response. I will try some of your suggestions later. Some are not possible or I wish to put off trying due to (a) logistics (distance between display and computer, cabling restrictions) and (b) requiring IT support to access hardware... Some specific responses: > Is this a first try (has this ever worked before trying with Buster)? This particular configuration has never been tried before as it's a new computer so the Quadro K620 graphics card is new. However, my previous system which this replaces had two Dell 24" monitors attached to the graphics card that came with that previous computer along with the GeForce 210 connected via HDMI to my 60" display. But that system used the nvidia proprietary driver, not nouveau. I am trying to resist using the nvidia driver but that will very likely be my next port of call... > To be clear, both are PCIe cards, neither is onboard or integrated in the CPU > package?

As noted above, the GeForce has worked just fine before but with nvidia driver, not nouveau. There are two displays attached to the Quadro and only one to the GeForce.
