I have the weirdest issue (as all issues).

When using the Nvidia driver (from deb/apt sources) on Debian 12, everything is displayed on the screen hooked up to the primary DVI output, and then, for some reason switches to the secondary as Xorg is launched.

I only have one screen, and it’s hooked up to the primary DVI output. That works on my main system. This is a dual boot, Debian 11 with nouveau driver (main/work) and Debian 12 with Nvidia (gaming).

I’m not a fan of unplugging stuff, but worse, it seems like for the gaming system to work, the DVI needs to be plugged in early on, it’s a whole thing.

Is there anything obvious that I’m missing?
