I didn't need to do anything except run that command, making sure to
specify the correct video device. I ran 'xrandr' with no arguments to get
a list of the devices on my laptop. I believe one of them said "connected"
after it, so that's the one I used.

Again, this was on a Funtoo system. Unfortunately I do not have a Devuan
system available to test right now.
