Hi,
I have a new Rpi4 and have connected 2 x 7" HDMI displays.
When I first booted up with both screens, it wouldn’t detect them after boot until I unplugged the HDMI cables and replugged them back in and then the GUI would display.
I then followed the instructions that came with the displays to install the 1024x600 driver and then it booted up ok, but only one display would be detected by the GUI.
I did notice however, that i have one python script that i can run that will run the Omxplayer and output video on a selected HDMI and this seems to work for both displays.
So my issue seems to be with the Raspian Buster GUI not detecting multiple displays after installing the display driver.
Any help would be appreciated.
Below is the config.txt file after the drivers were installed:

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode
#hdmi_safe=1
uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus
overscan.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
