tvservice -l does show both displays. Not sure how to make both work.

PI4. Well, for testing its dual LCD monitors, but in my environment it can be a 7" LCD or a 5" round LCD.

is their some kind of x application you like to run on both screen or just some console?

such things would need to go into config.txt.

ok, I believe that link worked. I've been messing around w/config.txt so I need to find out what actually fixed it. LOL
