This comes back blank. No output.
So there is no proprietary Nvidia module engaged and I bet that
should show no nvidia as well? And as @mrmazda explained:
So apparently either the Nvidia modules didn’t build for the vanilla kernel you are using or they didn’t load anyway. Can you boot a default kernel? Maybe a 6.13.x one?
This has changed. But the display is still the same. No second monitor. No ability to change resolution. Did not yet try kernel default. Will try to susepaste the other command.

Don’t know how to do susepaste, but the output is short.

Try again logged in as root, or using sudo.
“susepaste” is for posting 100+ of lines of text
e.g.
sudo lsinitrd | grep -E "nouveau|nvidia" | susepaste -e "10080"
And susepaste even has a man page that will show you what -e "10080" means!
This was a MUCH longer file!

@Prexy as indicated, switch to kernel-default rather than kernel-vanilla re-install the nvidia rpms etc…
Right now, kernel default gives me only a terminal. I will try to use it to remove all the nvidia files and re-install them. Is “all” a mistake? Are there a few specific ones?
@Prexy So, you install the rpms etc from there, make sure you run systemctl isolate multi-user.target force the re-install of the rpms, reboot.
Sorry about the delay. Covid has knocked me down. I tried all suggestions without any changes to the display.
HOWEVER, after today’s update, all display problems went away with no intervention or adjustments on my part!
HALLELUJAH!
