Thank you for the reply. I think I understand the situation and can appreciate that many others would be negatively affected by my experience being improved!

I do need more advice on how to "manually trigger a probe". In my experience, connecting the monitor (after booted), then opening display manager will have display manager indicate the monitor is connected (and active), but still no signal is sent to it (still black, monitor reporting "no signal"). So, any help on triggering this would be welcomed. If I am able to manually do this without rebooting then I would be accepting of this bug being "resolved".

Thanks again for the reply.
