I am trying to make my Debian Linux (KDE Plasma desktop environment, Wayland, stable channel) see my external monitor.
My
/etc/apt/sources.list
:
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.6.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 NETINST with firmware 20240629-10:18]/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware
# bookworm-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
# see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
# This system was installed using small removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,
# see the sources.list(5) manual.
xrandr --query
seems to only return the laptop's built-in screen:
Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767

I am guessing that, as a first step, I should also include the non-free
in every single place non-free-firmware
is included, and then try to update/upgrade? Or maybe this is not needed?
**Update:**
