[SOLVED] Monitors Management

Be4stElectrjc · 01-15-2020, 01:17 PM

Hi, have 5 monitors and i run Ubuntu 19.10. My GPU's max is 4, but it's not a problem since i need 3 maximum active simultaneously. Even if i have settings working (other 2 disabled) in the login screen and in the session, during the transition output is pushed on all monitors attached (and of course this causes a crash, since GPU can't handle... ). Tried to ignore the ones i don't use with xorg.conf, but maybe it's needed something more drastic than that.

Be4stElectrjc, I suspect you are not getting activity in this thread because not many persons use so many monitors.

I did a web search for "ubuntu with multiple monitors" but most of the articles were talking about two monitors. I included the link on the off chance that one of the articles might prove useful to you.

Hi, discovered that's a problem with GNOME. Since it works with XFCE using the same NVIDIA drivers.
Will move to specific forums.
