Hi all, I am trying to get a VGA connection to work.

Here are some details:

The monitor is recognized by the OS but it doesn't display anything. It shows the usual "No signal" error. My educated guess is that the monitor resolution is out of the allowed range for the VGA card but I can't really tell if that is the issue.

Could you recommend any command to issue in order to troubleshoot the problem?

Thanks!

It was as simple as changing the cable for another one, I do not know what caused the problem as that cable is working with another computer.

Anyway, I leave the commands I ran in order to let others know that the output of those commands should look like similar to a properly working one.
