When problems start to occur, sometimes the "working" screen goes blank and forces me to log back in, as if the screen was locked.

After disabling wayland in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and rebooting, xrandr shows the "missing" screen, and I can manually force the system to use both screens using
xrandr --output eDP-1 --auto --left-of DP-1-1
and at present that seems to be the only reliable manner of getting both monitors to work again.

Even after that, the settings app does not show there being multiple monitors in use.

I tried the 6.2.10 mainline kernel using "ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -i v6.2.10" after installing ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh/master/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh
There was no improvement with the newer kernel.
