Well...
Got my M2 Mini today, and after waiting all afternoon for Migration Assistant to do its thing, I plugged in a Dell monitor on USB-C (works fine!) and then my trusty Apple LED Cinema Display via a MiniDisplayPort -> HDMI adapter.
I wish I could say nothing happened because that would be easy, but it's weirder than that!
The Mac knows the Apple display is attached -- it shows up in Settings -> Displays and I can pull my mouse over there. But the display itself is black. No image. It worked with my old system five minutes ago, so I don't think it died...
I tried connecting it to USB with a mDP -> USB-C adapter. Same deal -- the Mac knows its there, but no image.
Then I tried disconnecting the Dell and just using the Apple display. Nope.
I know the M2s are super-new, but does anyone have any thoughts on what's going on? Is there a way for me to fix this, or am I buying another display?
ETA: Solved! See post below!
