I just inherited the following set up and I am trying to get both monitors to work properly, but for some reason I cannot get them to work.
Laptop Alienware M11x R3
2 Video Cards
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
One screen (Screen0) is the laptop and AFAIK that is handled by the Intel card, the second screen (Screen1) is a Dell monitor connected via DP cable to monitor.
The problem is that I cannot drag anything onto Screen1, I have even tried to right click on the title bar of a program and select Move to Screen and attempt to select the second screen and nothing.
lspci | grep VGA gives me
Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1)
