I've looked at (and tried) several solutions in order to fix this problem, but unsuccessfully. Most of the issues I've read about have to do with older releases of eOS, so that some of the known [as yet] unsupported hardware would have been addressed in Horus (Ubuntu 20.04), but it appears that they have not. Following is a list of several outputs containing details about my configuration. Thank you!

in the output, which is usually an HDMI output, but knowing what's connected may offer a clue about why the option is not appearing 🤔
