Thanks for the reply. My computer is a laptop. With "internal" screen, I was referring to the main screen of the laptop. The "external" screens are the ones attached via the VGA respectively HDMI ports of the laptop. All video ports, internal and external, are connected to the same graphics chip(s). The laptop actually has a "dual" graphics chip configuration with an Intel and an Nvidia graphics chip. However, I strongly assume that my issues are not related to this dual chip configuration because I see the output on the external screens and, as far as I know, a mixed operation of the graphic chips (in which one chip drives one display and the other chip drives another display) is not possible. This is also reported accordingly in the Xorg.log (it says something about ".. no multi-card support"). To me it seems like that, for some reason, the internal video port is not properly enabled. You can see, e.g., in the Xorg.log that the internal screen (the one with the 2560x1440 resolution) gets detected, EDID values are read, etc. xrandr also reports the internal video port to be enabled but no picture is shown. I can also change the video configuration via xrandr and see the effects on the external screen but the internal screen stays black.
