I have a desktop PC with a HDMI monitor connected to a nvidia GeForce GT 1030 and a second VGA monitor connected to an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630.
Both monitors have worked smoothly for years with Ubuntu 18.04
I recently installed Lubuntu 22.04 on the same PC and both monitors were automatically activated without problems.
But now, in Debian 11 (with LXQt desktop) the HDMI monitor is the only one that turns on. The VGA monitor only displays text at boot and then goes in to sleep mode.
On Debian lspci says everything is allright:
root@debian:/home/cesar# lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation CometLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]

And for xrandr there's no error message either, but the Intel integrated graphics card simply doesn't exist:
root@debian:/home/cesar# xrandr

Please give me some suggestions on where to keep looking. I've tried several proposals, but none has worked so far
