Indeed the driver is loaded, however in the very first pastebin log, this module wasn't loaded (ref. https://pastebin.com/a9an6Y7M). I have missed the second log file link/attachment (attachment-0001.ksh). Looking at it confirms modesetting's successful loading. Can you provide more details about the external screen(s) you are trying to attach e.g. make, model, resolution etc.?
