Yes, I read those instructions, but they are three years out of date.

The connector must be good because xrandr sees the external monitor and
can probe its DVID just fine.

I have already tried all the suggestions on the Gentoo site, except for
adding both monitors to xorg.conf. At this time my xorg.conf has no
monitor section at all.

What if I add monitor sections for the two monitors, and then later
boot without the external monitor (the usual case for me)?

Thanks for the suggestions.
