Hi, I am trying to setup a 5 monitors setup using 3 cards, but I am stuck at 3 monitors for now. The third card is not plugged yet, so the current setup is:
NVIDIA 8800GT (binary driver 195.***)
--->1680x1050 LCD (VGA)
--->1680x1050 LCD (DVI)
ATI HD5450 (3 output, but I think the OSS driver only support 2, corrdct me if I am wrong) (OSS driver)
--->1280x1024 LCD (DVI)
---> 1366x768 TV (VGA)
The two NVIDIA panel use separate screen, so it work fine with Xinerama. I don't really know how to setup the second ATI screen, the first one (DVI) is fine. I tried many solution from Google, but none of them worked (see the comments in the file for a general idea of what I tried). At some point, the TV was displaying a blue VHS like screen instead of a black screen. Here is my xorg.conf:
