Hello guys I have a problem configuring xorg.
- The graphics card is a Nvidia GTX 430 with 3 ports. (dvi, vga, hdmi)
- I've been using two screens (hdmi/vga) on it with twinview via nvidia-settings for a long time without problem.
- I just got a third screen. nvidia-settings see it but when I try to activate it I get this message:
- I read on the internet that nvidia-settings didn't work well with more that two screens so I edited the xorg configuration manually:
But it still doesn't work. I only get two screens working. (sony/dell).
Anything I did wrong?
