All my physical systems (half a dozen different devices) boot into a 
Linux virtual terminal from where I run `startx` after logging into 
a shell prompt. This works fine on all of them, including ones with 
fixed panels as well as those with monitors attached via DisplayPort 
or HDMI. I don't manually override detection, just rely on the 
default configs.

While I'm running sid instead of trixie everywhere, the versions of 
relevant packages now in trixie passed through sid and I never 
observed any problems with this configuration, so my guess is that 
there's something unusual about your specific hardware causing X not 
to see your monitor as connected for some reason. More detail would 
be helpful to track it down.
