I have vnc working fine with a GUI on my BB AI. But if it plug in

What packages do I need to install for that? If it works over VNC
why doesn't it work directly?
One of the easiest ways to get started with graphical desktops in
Debian is to install a "task-XXX-desktop" metapackage for your
favourite desktop environment XXX, which pulls in the whole kaboodle
via dependencies. It will probably include some packages which you
don't want, so feel free to prune later.
E.g. for installing the light-weight LXDE environment you'd do this:
$ sudo apt install task-lxde-desktop
The reason you don't see a graphical environment when plugging in a
monitor is you don't have a display manager installed
(https://wiki.debian.org/DisplayManager). The task you install will
include a "friendly" display manager, e.g. in case of LXDE it'll be
the lightdm. You might need to restart the board (or at least the
display manager service) after you've plugged in a monitor post-boot.

I am fairly sure he has a display manager installed as VNC will not function
without one.
