I'm running Xubuntu 21.10, with stock kernel (5.13.0-20) on ASUS motherboard.
Built-in Intel with DVI output, plus GeForce GT 430 card with HDMI.
I've had it set up for a long time with display :0.0 on the Intel DVI for my console, and display :0.1 on the GT430 HDMI, which is connected to my TV. All worked fine until recently, when after a reboot there was no HDMI output, and in fact no display :0.1 at all.
I have scoured the web, and found many different answers, including using the NVIDIA driver, but nothing has worked. Please help: my partner misses her TV!
xrandr shows just the console:
