It looks like "nouveau" deadlock bug. [3] Have you tried to install
proprietary driver? Last supported driver version for your VGA is
390, so you will need to install "nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver" package
from Debian non-free repo.
$ sudo apt install nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver
nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-support

Note pop-up dialog:
Conflicting nouveau kernel module loaded
The free nouveau kernel module is currently loaded and conflicts with
the non-free nvidia kernel module.
The easiest way to fix this is to reboot the machine once the
installation has finished.
Choose 'OK'.
Installation finishes with some warnings related to the removed nouveau
driver (which is not unexpected):
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.133+deb10u1) ...

Reboot -- boots okay -- login manager displayed -- login okay -- Xfce
desktop okay -- external monitor not getting signal.
Xfce -> Settings -> Display only lists one monitor "default":
Resolution 1920x1080 (or 640x480)
Refresh rate 0.0
Rotation None
Reflection None
How do I get the external monitor working?
