Linux Mint - 3 Monitor Setup - 3rd Not working
 
I have 2 nvidia graphics cards, 1 GTX 670 and 1 GTC 550ti. The two monitors that are on the 670 are working fine but the 3rd one on the 550, is not. 2 monitors are running off of a DVI to HDMI adapter cable and the 3rd is HDMI. I have included a screenshot of the nvidia-settings and xorg.

You think that this line has anything to do with it?

Doesn't seem to effect it. Once I do get it to work, it seems as if I get a new desktop but with mdm not running. If I disable the third monitor, its fine and I use the desktop

That does not look right. I would try commenting out those lines.
