X-Windows sees all my monitors, but gnome 3 does only sees 1
 
I'm Running Ubuntu 13, gnome 3. I have 4 monitors on 2 video cards. I got the xorg.conf configured and working in x-windows. But gnome only sees the first monitor? Any Ideas on why?

Please help.

try running

Code:

aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
Also I'm noticing that you dont have a virtual screen section in your screen sub-section. Just curious how did you install the drivers? And just importantly, how did you enable gnome 3, since ubuntu comes with compiz/unity stock. You may also want to try removing xinerama via vi or leafpad. I really don't think that it's necessary.
